NASA was established in 1958 encouraging peaceful applications of space science. Musically, the piece begins with dramatic percussion setting up the overall feeling of the work. After the introduction, a bold A section is meant to salute our astronauts and their many achievements. When the B section starts, it is more subdued, but it gradually leads back to the heroic feel of the A. After a brief percussive interlude, one more final playing of the A section brings this exciting new work to a finish. Correlated with Tradition of Excellence Book 2, page 12.
