Three Washington Statues - I The Lincoln Memorial

Philip Sparke’s Three Washington Statues was commissioned for the inaugural President’s Cup Concert Band Festival; an invitation only, adjudicated festival for high school wind ensembles. The work was premiered at the Hylton Performing Arts Center, Manassas, VA, on April 10, 2015.
Situated at the west end of the National Mall, the majestic Lincoln Memorial is in the form of a Greek Doric temple. Designed by Henry Bacon, it houses Daniel Chester French’s 1920 statue of Abraham Lincoln, which depicts a pensive Lincoln seated on a throne-like chair. The music contrasts the static grandeur of the monument with the constant movement of the 3 million visitors it attracts every year.
