Heroes and Peace Makers is dedicated to the men and women of America’s armed forces and those of other nations who are serving or who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the War on Terror. It is a military march written in the tradition of the great American bands that toured extensively from the closing decades of the nineteenth through the early decades of the twentieth century. Those fond of marches may associate the piece with the likes of John Phillip Souza, Kenneth J. Alford, Edwin Franco Goldman and Henry Fillmore. As a veteran and former US Army bandsman, I was surely influenced by these composers and Europeans Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, Peter Tchaikovsky, Johann Strauss and Carl Teike as well.
