"The Longest Day" performed by the Cadet Glee Club of West Point

"Dot-Dot-Dot-Dash, Dot-Dot-Dot-Dash" - listen to the opening timpani as it beats the Morse Code for the letter "V" for Victory. Today is the 67th anniversary of the landings on the Normandy beaches -- D-Day. Paul Anka's song about D-Day, June 6, 1944, celebrates the invincibility of the Great Generation that landed, fought and won there. The three parts of this beautiful arrangement -- the first ever to portray musically what actually happened on those beaches that day -- recall the dogged unparalleled preparation, the 4,720 casualties of Omaha Beach and then the breakthrough. Eleven months later the war in Europe was over.

The performance can be seen and heard on the DVD and CD "Stand Ye Steady - Songs of Courage and Inspiration" available at http://www.standyesteady.com (in 5.1 Dolby Digital) and honoring all US Armed Forces past and present. Directing and video editing by Doug Coppi of Curtain Call Productions, http://www.curtaincallproductions.com/aboutPeople.html .
