Respetfully dedicated to the Heroes of 9/11, Alarm: The Call to Duty is written in memory of the Men and Women of the uniformed public services of New York City that lost their lives on September 11, 2001. These firemen and policemen risked their lives daily, but on that one day, many answered their last call in the ultimate sacrifice that truly symbolizes the adage: Duty, Honor and Country. The work consists of alternating musical sections of dramatic and cathartic musical materials that culminate in a dramatic fashion as diverse voices join in with the final chorus.
