The feature song, Winds of Change is a musical
interpretation of the historical passage taken by Barack Obama and
his inspirational campaign to reach the highest position in the greatest
country in the world. The composition transitions through integral
stages of Barack’s journey beginning with a single flute serenade
representing Barack contemplating bringing change to Washington DC
and ultimately making the commitment to run for the Presidency of
the United States. A duo of flutes takes center stage as a
symbolic account of the state-by-state contests for the Democratic
Party Presidential Nomination. The ensuing increased intensity
of the flute duo captures the “fired-up, ready-to-go” general
election campaign wherein Barack soars steadfast above the trenches
of the status quo establishment. The outro epitomizes the
happy harmonic ascent to victory as Americans vote overwhelmingly
to embrace the Winds of Change with sails of hope. The leadership
of Barack Obama calls forth the “better angels of our nature” to
collectively rise to the challenge of and successfully navigate through
the most critical and defining moment in our nation’s history
to emerge as One America.
