Story Behind The Song

This piece was written for our American soldiers as they carry out their duties abroad. Although there seems to be so much pain, suffering and violence in the world today, there also seems to be a much more powerful force at work to restore peace and harmony, revealing a promise of better times ahead. Triumph is a song about the constant battle of ?right? vs. ?wrong?, not just in our world today, but a battle that ensues at the most fundamental level?in our own minds. Our world situation is merely a manifestation of years of errors in thought and behaviour at the individual level. So as we struggle against acting out our ego?s every little whim, may each of us follow a purer, more reverential way of living by respecting all that which lives.

Song Description

Beginning with a somber piano solo to mark the pains of separation from family and loved ones, strings, brass and woodwinds soon join in section by section to build this magnificent piece. Triumph is a bold composition utilizing french horns to sound the battle call and spirited rhythms to build momentum for the cause. A sweeping array of strings and carry you away as you envision yourself a hero on the battle field with your comrades, fighting for your freedom.
