Music reviews of Duty, Honor, Country

Music Review: Great Music
Rating: 5 Stars

By the title, Altissimo's latest CD, "Duty, Honor, Country," would appear to be just another compilation of patriotic and military music. Upon listening, however, I quickly realized that this is far from just another patriotic CD. The CD features highly spirited music with excellent sound reproduction.
The music by the US Army Field Band and Chorus spans the time from the Civil War to modern day. While some of the songs are well known, there were several that I heard for the first time, most notably "Fantasia on the Army Blue." According to the liner notes, this number, written by Ira Hearshen, was commissioned by the Army Field Band on the occasion of the bicentennial of the U.S. Military Academy. The number depicts Hearshen's impression of West Point in music and is based on the Academy song "Army Blue."
One of the highlights of the CD is a very moving and heartfelt narration by General Norman Schwarzkopf called "Duty, Honor, Country." This adaptation of a speech by General of the Army Douglas McArthur is "right on" and brings a feeling of pride to those who hear it.
No collection of military or patriotic music is complete without Sousa's "The Stars and Striped Forever," and this collection is no exception. The march is the last selection on the CD, and I believe that the producer truly saved the best for last. I consider this version one of the most perfect I have ever heard. The seldom-heard words were sung by the Soldier's Chorus, and the piccolo part (which is what makes the march so great) was an absolute perfect performance.
All in all, this is a CD that should be added to the collection of every patriotic American.
