Gregory
Singer brings us a
descriptive work inspired
by the story of a father
and son who fought on
different sides in the
America Civil War. The
composition begins with a
tender melancholic ballad
that leads to a cheerful
fiddle tune. The piece is
brought to a dynamic
conclusion when the
themes are stated in
counterpoint.
This
composition was inspired
by a story of a father
and son that fought in
the American Civil War .
My original version for
full symphony orchestra
had lyrics that tells the
story of a father
fighting for the North
and his son fighting for
the South . In the story,
the father and son both
die in the same battle
fighting for the opposite
sides . The mother and
daughter are waiting for
their return and have
prepared food for them .
Alas, they will never
return .It is a
melancholy, sentimental
melody with a cheerful
up-tempo section
representing the mother's
and daughter’s
memories of the happy
times together .
