Pensativa

“American Theme for Orchestra is an orchestral tone poem portraying the journey of the American people, as an American people.  It’s a musical reflection of our constant search of a better life, of our desired place of living, of our triumph amongst bleak odds and of seemingly impassible barriers passed.  The piece attempts to evoke the story of our perseverance, of our conflict, and of eventual resolution.”
