Based on material borrowed from two English folk songs that were popular in the Southern Appalachians during the early years of American history---Going to Boston and Soldier, Won't You Marry Me?. After a very peaceful and tranquil opening, a bold, powerful statement leads to a dreamlike, mesmerizing section. With a powerful percussion contribution, the driving conclusion resounds. An epic work, this is a striking addition to symphonic band literature. (4:45).
