Homage to Normandy

Performed by the Prekmurska godba Bakovci Concert Band Published by C. Alan Publications (www.c-alanpublications.com) "Homage to Normandy" is a tribute to all the soldiers who lost their lives during the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War. The first movement, 'Elegy: For All of the Fallen,' is a beautifully powerful chorale that builds to a glorious climax before calming again. The second movement, 'In Resolution: Toward the Final Victory,' captures the brute force of the battle and drives all the way to the end in this fitting homage.
