Symphonic Poem
The aim of this work is not to illustrate a sequence of historical events, but to convey the impressions of one visiting Valley Forge to-day. As the great panorama unfolds, majestic and serene, one's thoughts turn to the human drama of the past: to the unwavering fortitude shown in the face of every deprivation: to the slow return of spiritual strength which turned the tide of victory and culminated in renewed courage and great rejoicing.
