The Song,
the Composer...
"LET
FREEDOM RING" is a song I wrote in mid September,
2001...in a time of great sadness and heartbreak..."A New
National Anthem for the New Millennium"....a song dedicated
to ALL AMERICANS, past and present - a song of tenderness, a song
of unity, a song of pride, a song of love of country, and a song
of great STRENGTH, LOVE, HOPE AND POWER for us all!
"LET
FREEDOM RING" is a short, sweet song with a strong
message. The structure of the piece is of equal importance
to the lyrics and melody. The work begins with one piano
note...then voices...then instruments...and ends with a stirring
and determined DEMAND, in full voice - LET FREEDOM
RING! ...a unified message to exclaim to the world that we will
not allow anything or anyone...EVER to divide us or to take away
our LIBERTY and FREEDOM!
