Turning Point
Publisher Desc.
"December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy..." Those
words by President Franklin D. Roosevelt are deeply etched into the fabric of
American history. Remarkably, the comeback from that incredible disaster at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii occurred only months later, June 4 - 7, 1942, during the
Battle of Midway. Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz described Midway as
"...the most crucial battle of the Pacific war, the engagement that made
everything else possible." Turning Point was commissioned by the United
States Navy Band, Captain Ralph M. Gambone, Jr., Conductor, in commemoration
of the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Midway. Opening and closing with a
poignant trumpet solo, Turning Point draws its musical structure from the
sequence of events of June 4 - 7, 1942, capturing the emotion, tension and
triumph of this momentous and consequential battle.
