The subdued sonorities of the horns are blended with the subtleties of the mallet percussion, creating a compassionate and stirring setting appropriate for any concert setting. An emotional tribute to Michael Cifuentes and members of Lima Company of the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines who were killed on August 3, 2005 in Iraq is now available. This PowerPoint presentation may be used in conjunction with the performance of Purple Heart: http://www.barnhouse.com/images/misc/012-3566-90.ppt.
