I've called the four movements of this work, respectively, "War", "Love",
"Songs and dances" (it contains my arrangments of famous american songs and Hymns), and
"Victory".
Composeing the symphony I had the intention of:
1. make a commemorative picture of the eleven of September tragedy
2. describe steps of the war of U.S.A. and its allies against
terrorism.
3. musically describe U.S.A.
4. describe the love for the Nation, the american pride, et c.
Those are ideas pictured in the first movement (WAR AGAINST
TERRORISM):
bars 1 -180
The crouled threath against America was ignored by the majority of
Americans: keeping busy in normal activities (works.
enterteinments, intellectual activities like writing) when ....
bars 180 - 269
.. three terrible attacks happened: airplanes flied into buildings. The
horrible sight of anger and death. Elicopters, fireworkers.
bars 390 - 435
A funeral march
The President informs the Nation. The beginning of the victorious war
against terror.
[I transformed the worlds of the President "OUR COUNTRY IS STRONG. A GREAT
PEOPLE HAS BEEN MOVED TO DEFEND A GREAT NATION", useing an old musical
trick, into the bass of the theme].
The tragedy calls american people to defend their enduring freedom. The
Anglo-American alleance [I've pictured that alliance useing the theme of
"God save the queen", that is equal to "My Country Tis of Thee"]
The American Pride compares itself with a dreadful and arduous fight.
The meaning of the others movements is obvious.
