Freedom Rising was written in commemoration of the 150 anniversary of Quantrill’s raid on the unsuspecting town of Lawrence, Kansas where the residents bravely fought to defend their town from the forces of pro-slavery western counties. Opening with a dark and haunting woodwind choir, the composition quickly journeys into the raging battle that took place that fateful August day in 1863. The slower middle section is a powerful hymn expressing the hope of all townspeople for a successful defense to this sneak-attack. The dramatic powerful conclusion leaves us with the knowledge that this community fought desperately for the freedom of all people. A powerful piece that brings to life this brief but important period in American history.

As we pause to remember the blessings that God has poured out on our country, we must not forget to take stock of where we are as a nation that still proclaims to be 'under God'. The dual citizenship of those who claim the Savior, being in this world and not of it, is an idea worthy of examination. This musical is a celebration of freedom, it is a proclamation of liberty and a challenge to continue to bask in the glow of freedom's holy light!
