SOUNDTRACK OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER

The US Army Field Band headed to Skywalker Sound in 2018 to record a host of pieces that focused on celebrating the stories of those men and women who enter the line of duty. Their director Col. Jim R. Keene has selected a variety of music from a host of media composers (film, television, musical theater, video games) for this compelling collection of music.

THE TRAVELLED ROAD

His roots in opera are evident and I enjoyed these songs much more than most American art song that comes my way.
