This is a sequence based on an arrangement titled "Salute To The Patriots"; a musical tribute to those men and women who struggled to chart the course for these United States. Patriotic songs from our earliest history are included in this medley leading to a stirring rendition of the hymn-tune "Chester" by William Billings. This melody, above all, was the rallying music for the patriots of the Revolutionary War. Original arrangement by Jamed. D. Ployhar. All parts were individually scored for Symphonic Concert Band using Freestyle & Performer Sequencing Software, and a Korg X5DR Synthesizer.

Note: This sequence can be used with non-GM synths by loading it into a sequencer and re-assigning the Program Change and MIDI Channel data to meet the requirements of your equipment.
