The Freedom Trilogy

Recently the nation celebrated the 50 year anniversary of the March on Washington, a time that heralded a change in America, as it brought women and African Americans, as well as other minority groups, into the mainstream.  That happened through action, demonstration, laws and even music, as the latter blew the trumpets that opened the gates to freedom.

The Freedom Trilogy consists of traditional music but done in a form that signals to the listener that the words and melodies mean far more than something superficial.  It is a reminder that freedom comes with a price and also with dimensions of suffering and resolutions of belief.

That Freedom Trilogy is done here to recall those times but as a reminder that freedom is something that must be respected as well, for many times it came at great price.
