Composed by Harold L. Walters. Arranged by Andrew E. Lawson. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Historic, Patriotic. 45 pages. ALawson Music #1239494. Published by ALawson Music (A0.1673851).
Written in 1967, Duty, Honor, Country features a narrator reciting a portion of General Douglas MacArthur’s famous speech given at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on May 12, 1962. The speech is a memorable tribute to the ideals that inspired that great American soldier. For as long as American servicemen and women continue to serve their country as courageously and honorably as he did, General MacArthur’s words will live timelessly - a perfect fit for any patriotic concert.
While this arrangement largely adheres to the style and character of the original work, significant adjustments have been made to the orchestration of the work, including the removal of several instruments largely considered non-standard, obsolete, and/or difficult-to-come-by in the average school band program, such as the Db Piccolo, Eb Clarinet, and Alto Clarinet. These parts have been reassigned to instruments of similar range and timbre to maintain the character of the music. Additionally, the percussion parts in the arrangement have been expanded upon from the original to include the addition of mallet percussion, more complex snare and timpani parts, as well as more involved suspended and crash cymbal parts, suitable for a larger percussion section. Extensive cues and additional cross-section doubling have also been included throughout the work. Special cues have been included in the score for the narration.
