Notes: This symphonic suite was created at the request of Howard Mitchell, then the conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra, for a selected city-wide high school chorus to sing with the symphony on patriotic occasions. It was used about ten times during the fifties decade, and then shelved. This was my first orchestral arrangement, and I was invited to guest-conduct its first performance. (Perf. time 12 minutes)
