'Yankee Doodle' with variations is the most concise way to describe the piece commissioned by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra to commemorate Conneticut's participation in The United States Bicentennial. 'Yankee Doodle' a tune dating back to the Middle Ages in Holland and England (and used by the British as early as 1755 to poke fun at untrained American troops in the French and Indian war) is interwoven with other folk and national melodies to stitch a patchwork or a musical collage. It is a personal view of American history.'To explain my approach to They All Sang Yankee Doodle I must explain my own background because the piece is made up ofmusical memories imprinted from early childhood.My earliest musical memories are a juxtaposition of sounds - hymns and Bach chorales from the church next door where my mother was choir director; early twenties jazz from my oldest brother's dance band; classical piano from my middle brother and my mother's piano studio; and cowboy songs and turn-of-the-century ballads that I have always identified with my father.

Borrowing from two of the apostles Lee Dengler sets the words of Jesus to His potential followers as He explains His ministry and the requirements of “followship.” Follow Me is written in Early American hymnstyle with open harmonies and a folk-like melody. The gradual building of layers of sound makes this three-part anthem sound more difficult than it is. The overlapping gesture of “Follow me...follow me...come and followme...” is very effective.
