An American Hymn

Letting his vivid imagination run freely in his unique soundcape, Nitsch has created a delightful retrospective musical look back at the days of the American Revolution. The melodic materials are a combination of original themes and William Billings' "Chester", put together in an extremely entertaining and quirky mixed meter environment. Special scoring features are a rhythmic dialog between concert snare and parade snare, muted brass, and piccolo solos.
