Program Notes:
Highway of Heroes was composed to honor heroism of all kinds – to pay tribute to the brave souls who daily and unselfishly risk their lives and even pay the ultimate sacrifice. The inspiration for this composition came from the name of a stretch of highway that pays homage to fallen soldiers.
(Hal Leonard)
