Additional info/contents 'Freedom Rising' wurde im Gedenken an den 150. Jahrestag des Massakers geschrieben, das Quantrill in der friedlichen Kleinstadt Lawrence im US-Bundesstaat Kansas verübte, wo die Einwohner tapfer kämpften, um ihre Stadt vor den Truppen der Pro-Skaverei-Gebiete zu schützen. Die Komposition beginnt mit einem düsteren und schwermütigen Holzbläserchor, der die Ereignisse darstellt, die an diesem Tag stattfinden sollten. Dann begibt sich 'Freedom Rising' schnell ins Schlachtgetümmel, das an diesem schicksalhaften Augusttag im Jahr 1863 stattfand. Der langsamere Mittelteil ist ein kraftvoller Choral, der die Hoffnung der Stadtbewohner auf eine erfolgreiche Verteidigung gegen den Überraschungsangriff ausdrückt. Der dramatische und mächtige Schluss lässt uns mit dem Wissen zurück, dass diese Gemeinde verzweifelt für die Freiheit aller Menschen gekämpft hat. Ein wuchtiges Stück, das eine kurze, aber wichtige Periode in der amerikanischen Geschichte wieder aufleben lässt.

'Freedom Rising' was written in commemoration of the 150 anniversary of Quantrill’s raid on the unsuspecting town of Lawrence, Kansas where the residents bravely fought to defend their town from the forces of pro-slavery western counties. Opening with a dark and haunting woodwind choir depicting the events to take place that day, the composition quickly journeys into the raging battle that took place that fateful August day in 1863. The slower middle section is a powerful hymn expressing the hope of all townspeople for a successful defense to this sneak-attack. The dramatic powerful conclusion leaves us with the knowledge that this community fought desperately for the freedom of all people. A powerful piece that brings to life this brief but important period in American history.
