A dignified yet dramatic overture conjuring visions of the beautiful mid-American countryside, particularly that of Albemarle County in Virginia, where the home of James Monroe, 5th president of the United States, is located. Brilliant and exciting, this work hearkens back to the turbulent times of a new nation.
