Program Notes:

The last line of defense is a term that refers to the final means of defense before the opponent reaches its goal, particularly in a war situation. This piece reflects that definition, as it has the fierce excitement of a war, and represents the bravery of the men and women that risk their lives to defend what is important to them.
