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)
