Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Remembering the past can provide images that a composer can best express through music.

With Symphony For the Sons of Nam, I have formed musical interpretations which reflect my experience as a soldier in Viet Nam.

Initially written for string quartet, Symphony For the Sons of Nam was expanded to full orchestra in 1992.

This CD, although i haven't listened to this version, Symphony for the Sons of Nam is the most inspiration, non-judgemental piece i have heard in a long time! Our school just played this piece, with Mr. Williams being a guest at every performance and it is amazing. I definetly recomend this CD.
