The Lions of North Bridge
Composers:- McBeth, W Francis
Duration: 9
Description:
THE LIONS OF NORTH BRIDGE was commissioned by and is dedicated to the United States Army Band and its conductor, Col. Bryan Shelburne. The work was inspired by the first battle of America’s War for Independence which took place at the North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts. The Minutemen, who were the “lions” of that battle, became national icons. The composition is built on one motive and two themes: A Toast to General Washington by Francis Hopkinson and The White Cockade, the melody played by the band at the battle. THE LIONS OF NORTH BRIDGE was premiered in San Antonio, Texas, in July 1999 by the U.S. Army Band and Herald Trumpets under the baton of Col. Shelburne.
