Here's a link to "Liberty! Liberte!"-- a wonderful patriotic work composed by Irving Gertz (THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, SMOKE SIGNAL, THE LEECH WOMAN, CURSE OF THE UNDEAD, FLUFFY) to honor the event of France's gift of The Statue of Liberty to the United States. This stellar performance was recorded live in concert.

David, thanks for this! A stirring and beautiful piece!
Just out of curiosity, when was this done? I noticed some passages sound similar to Frankel's "Battle of the Bulge" (not in a bad way) and wondered which came first.
That's a very fine piece from a very fine composer. By the way, it has been mentioned (somewhere... can't recall) that Gertz wrote it in 1986. Maybe I'm remembering wrongly. Hadn't he retired from writing by then?
