Midway March by John Williams, arranged by John Moss

This tuneful march is from the classic score for the W.W. II era movie, "Midway". The compound meters, stirring melodies, and shifting key centers combine to give the march format a fresh and vigorous feel.

On February 3, 1943, The S.S. Dorchester, an American troop transport vessel, sank in the icy waters off the coast of Greenland, the victim of a German U-boat. Of the 904 men aboard, 605 were lost. Among those who perished were four army chaplains, each of a different faith, each called to the same duty.

The testimony of the survivors tells the story best; "As overcrowded lifeboats capsized, as rafts drifed away empty, the only fragment of hope came from these four men...and when the life jackets were gone, they gave away their own." As the survivors swam away, they remember the chaplains standing - their arms link- braced against the slanting deck.

The Light Eternal, based on the well-known hymn "God of Our Fathers", is a reflective work that musically recounts this magnificent story. You will hear: A Celebration of Life, The Sinking of the Ship, and Aftermath - Contemplation - Resolution before the final statements of the hymn.

This concert band adaptation is from the Mannheim Steamroller version that has been so popular.

Hebron was a prominent city of the Old Testament. The Gathering of the Ranks at Hebron depicts that ime in biblical history when almost 350,000 men came together, armed for battle, determined to make David king over all Israel, eventually making the first ill-fated attempt at bringing the Arc of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. (I Chronicles 12: 23-38)
