As All the Heavens Were a Bell (with Optional Chorus) 合唱

作為向紐約市消防局致敬的委託作品，這部令人感動的作品於今年 3 月在曼哈頓為消防員舉行的一場激動人心的演出中首演。這首作品以震撼人心的銅管大合唱開場，伴以木管樂器的華彩樂章。隨後，用縈繞在耳邊的聲樂色彩（用 F 圓號提示）對《美國》（My Country, 'Tis Of Thee）的旋律進行了敏感的處理。國家動盪不安的景象在強烈的驅動力和強勁的樂段中得到了描繪，並在合唱和樂隊的伴奏下發展成為對美國的全面描繪，令人歎為觀止。這是向 9/11 事件中的英雄們致敬的真正壯麗的音樂"

原文簡介:
Commissioned as a tribute to the Fire Department of New York City, this immensely moving work was premiered at an emotional performance for the firefighters in Manhattan this past March. The composition opens with a striking brass fanfare accompanied by woodwind flourishes. A sensitive treatment of the melody from America (My Country, 'Tis Of Thee) follows using haunting vocal colors (cued in F Horns). The nation in turmoil is depicted in an intensely driving and powerful section which evolves marvelously into a full-blown treatment of America with chorus and band. A truly magnificent musical tribute to the heroes of 9/11.
