This gripping programmatic work depicts the historic Battle of Tripoli. A mysterious opening foreshadows the impending conflict as American ships set sail for war. Tension builds as Marines cross the Libyan Desert and courageously storm the fortified pirate city of Derna. The Marine's Hymn announces the adrenaline-rushing assault complete with an aleatoric aerial bombardment. This innovative work is likely to be the most memorable portion of your concert or festival performance. Riveting!
