The veteran Hollywood composer, who wrote the musical themes for The National World War II Museum's 4-D cinematic journey, Beyond All Boundaries, produced an emotional, resonant score. The production is an immersive journey, following America's Greatest Generation from pre-Pearl-Harbor naiveté to America's final victory in the War That Changed the World.The 35-minute extravaganza will debut November 6 in the Solomon Victory Theater, the Museum's $60 million addition built specifically to house Beyond All Boundaries. Equipped with a 120-foot-wide screen, a series of gigantic props and a computerized projection system worth millions of dollars, the theater features the very highest in high technology.

BRUCE BROUGHTON'S "GEORGE WASHINGTON II: THE FORGING OF A NATION" AVAILABLE FOR FIRST TIME ON CD Well-versed in scoring historical miniseries for television, Bruce Broughton was an ideal choice for this very human portrait of the first president of the United States. With a score that captures the authenticity of the time, Broughton employs a measured blend of stateliness and charm to imbue the notably stiff persona of the first commander-in-chief with warmth and thoughtful intellect.
Presented in stereo from Broughton's own 1/4-inch two-track tapes (as the original multi-track masters are long-gone), this Intrada Signature Edition release is made possibly largely through the courtesy of MGM and includes more than several chamber pieces composed and adapted by the composer, among which is a captivating treatment of the familiar "Chester" melody. For track listing, to hear audio samples from the CD, or to purchase, please visit the the Intrada website. This release is limited to 1000 copies! For more information, please contact Lisa Edmondson.
