This album presents eight of the most recent works by Peter Boyer, one of the leading American orchestral composers of his generation. Balance of Power was commissioned for the 95th birthday of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, while Fanfare for Tomorrow was composed for the inauguration of President Joe Biden in 2021. Each of these pieces displays Boyer's vivid soundscapes and tuneful American sensibilities, from the cinematic sweep of Rolling Riverto Radiance, composed especially for this album. Boyer's GRAMMY nominated Ellis Island: The Dream of America (8.559246) has received over 250 performances and was televised by PBS.
