THAT WE MIGHT LIVE

That We Might Live is a Documentary in Music honoring those who served in WWII and is inspired by the Valiant Souls of Bataan and Corregidor. This historically accurate Musical work is made complete by incorporating authentic radio and musical clips from WWII, excerpts and lyrics pertinent to the events of Bataan and Corregidor during the 3 years, 8 months and 25 days where 31,095 Souls were sacrificed to brutal conditions and hardship. The Struggle and Sacrifice, survived and not-survived by the Souls of Bataan and Corregidor, inspired the Music. The Music was composed for an ensemble of 100 instrumentalists and 300 Chorus. It was recorded first by The Central Band of Japan Air Self Defense Force for the “First-time-ever-in-this-category” Grammy-nominated STORMWORKS Chapters 5:8 CD Set, and then later, rerecorded by multi-national ensembles around the world committed to the same purpose of tribute. In 2008, That We Might Live evolved into its current “visually scored” form. When a traditional documentary is created, film and pictures are compiled, edited and produced to tell a story. Narration is written, recorded and placed into the film, and music is scored to accompany the film. That We Might Live embarked upon an innovative artistic approach called VisaREEL, film and pictures researched, compiled and scored to the Music, conveying visually the context and significance of what the listener experiences Musically. When viewing this Documentary In Music, there is no narration, nor any sound coming from the visuals. There is simply the experience of film and picture placed to Music, serving the purpose of transporting the listener/viewer back in Time, making visceral through Music the emotional and psychological weight of Surrender and Sacrifice… taking us back to a place and Time, that as a Nation, we must never forget.
