Written in 1926, two years after Bloch had become an American citizen, America: An Epic Rhapsody, is the composer's tribute to his adopted country. This romantic and patriotic score vividly surveys the history of the US from the native American melodies of pre-colonial days to the modern era of 1920s jazz and beyond. The Concerto Grosso No. 1 is a bold statement which unites the eighteenth-century concerto grosso form with a modern tonal language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 I. 1620: The Soil - the Indians - (England) - the Mayflower - the Landing of the Pilgrims \u003cbr\u003e1.2 II. 1861-1865: Hours of Joy - Hours of Sorrow \u003cbr\u003e1.3 III. 1926: The Present - the Future (Anthem) \u003cbr\u003e1.4 I.
