Composed by Shaffer. Concert Band. Concert Band Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR392). Score and set of parts. Composed 2017. Duration 5 minutes, 14 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4549-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4549-00).Freedom’s Voice was commissioned to commemorate "The Voice of America," which began broadcasting in 1942 to combat Nazi propaganda with truthful news and information. VOA has served the world with a consistent message of truth, hope and inspiration. Opening with a mysterious and haunting melody representing the axis powers during the 2nd World War, the piece quietly builds into a voice of hope with the introduction of fanfare figures woven into a stoic rhythmic melody. The piece builds forcefully utilizing just these 2 simple musical elements into a broad finale representing the glory of freedom and free speech. Inspiring for both performers and audiences. Exceptional!
