    At my high school, we just started playing Music for Prague 1968 in my symphonic band. I get to play the timpani part, which is amazing. I am so excited that I get to play this piece. Also, my band director, when he was in high school, played this song under the direction of Husa. It's just such a cool song!

    Husa gets his day in the sun and it's about time. The album is worth it for Music for Prague alone.

    This music was written at a time when social consciousness was focused more sharply than ever on the evils of tyranny and environmental abuse. Mr. Husa, who is an optimist, nevertheless wrote an ingenious, powerful, deeply disturbing, agonizingly intense portrayal of our beautiful earth, it's problems, and ultimately it's destruction. In light of recent world tensions, global warming and the potential catastrophic consequences, the compositions of Karel Husa on this album remain contemporary and deeply moving.
