SHINING CITY, THE
Composed by Mark Camphouse
Written for narrator and symphonic band, this tribute to Ronald Reagan uses text from his speeches and writings spanning the height of the Cold War to the heartwarming Letter to the American People disclosing his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Mr. Camphouse has composed a powerful work that portrays the American Presidency and American ideals in such a way that truly touches the heart of every American.
“The Shining City” is an extremely emotional work comparable to Copland’s “A Lincoln Portait”.
