Below is some information regarding the music:
Descriptive information about “Forever Young” Overture from the composer:
"In June 2017 I watched a documentary about the June 6, 1944
D-Day landing at Normandy. In the course of the documentary, while
they scanned the many white crosses of the Normandy cemetery, a general said
“We consider the many young soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice that day
as ‘Forever Young’” That heartfelt comment inspired the composing
of my Forever Young Overture during the summer of 2017 – in the music I try to
express the strength and courage those young soldiers had and their sacrifice
for freedom on that fateful day. The fact that my father,
George Russo, landed in Normandy later that June added to the personal nature
of the music."
