Here is a nice solemn piece for your next patriotic event. Optional solo or band singing with low brass accompaniment.
Going Home Lyrics
Going home, going home, I'm a going home.
Quiet like, some still day, I'm just going home.
It's not far, just close by, through an open door.
Work all done, care laid by, Going to fear no more.
Mother's there, expecting me, Father's waiting too.
Lots of folk gathered there, All the friends I knew.
Freedom March was inspired by my other composition entitled "FREEDOM". Freedom March is inspired by the events of 9/11 and is a tribute to all those who continue to fight for our freedom. Program it for your next patriotic concert or better yet ... take it to contest !
This selection was commissioned by Peterstown Middle School, WV. Their school mascot is a Pirate. "Aaarrr Pirates!" comes with complete with a stick fight and a section where the band can yell out their favorite pirate saying. I was inspired to write this original composition after watching 'Pirates of the Carribean'. I left the theater feeling like a pirate myself.
