5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!!, August 10, 2003

By	"bobanthony74" (Cos Cob, CT) - See all my reviews

I have the CD at home and the songs sound fabulous. I've heard the Houston Symphony's version of the Star Spangled Banner many times on TV as this anthem has been used at sign-off (when this was happening). It's as powerful a version you'll hear. Probably the finest patriotic music CD you can find out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Patriotic Music I've Found, September 20, 2001

By	"ksfreestyle" (Hastings,, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Loved the CD! I am buying it to use with a Musical Freestyle Ride for a Quadrille. A horse oriented endeaver. The music will be perfect to bring positive patriotism to fairs and fund raisers for NYC.
