About this item
One of America's most historic moments was accompanied by this very unique work, composed especially for the occasion and performed by a quartet of America's finest artists – Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Anthony McGill, and Gabriella Montera. Maestro Williams has rescored his monumental work into a dramatic movement for string orchestra – a stunning display of emotion, musical power and grace. An advanced level piece for mature groups.
