Black Granite is dedicated to the men and women who gave their lives in Vietnam, and whose names are forever engraved on the solemn black granite stone wall at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. This heroic march is a tribute to the fallen. A lyrical and inspiring woodwind chorale follows a driving and energetic horn line. A tremendous concert or contest opener! Black Granite widmete der Amerikaner James L. Hosay den Männern und Frauen, die im Vietnamkrieg ihr Leben ließen und deren Namen in eine große Steinwand, der Black Granite stone wall“, am Vietnam-Denkmal in Washington, CD, eingraviert sind. Dieser heroische Marsch zelebriert den Mut und die Integrität dieser Menschen - auch in jedem anderen Zusammenhang wichtige Werte.
