Commissioned by The United States Marine Band and premiered in 1987, Clare Grundman's Concord has remained a staple in the wind band repertoire. The middle section of this work is a beautiful chorale based on the early hymn "America" composed by William Billings. Adapted here as a stand alone piece for younger bands, this is a stunning example of lyric writing and glorious harmonies.
