Patriotic music is what Patriot Music is all about. In United States, every generation has its patriotic music to both unify the nation and celebrate its dedication to freedom and the spirit of the individual. From Samuel Adams' Sons of Liberty in the streets and back alleys of Boston beginning in the 1770s, to the present, patriotic music has evolved with the single-minded purpose of saying in music, those things that are on the hearts and minds of the citizenry at the time, while eliciting national pride. From the Civil War to the Big Band sounds and catchy ballads of World War II, every generation's music represents its unique concerns, with patriotic music changing to suit the Nation's mood.

An important factor that distinguishes United States' from the rest of the world is America's distinction between the meaning of patriotism and nationalism. Elsewhere, the two words are used synonymously. For Americans though, while nationalism supports or celebrates a country and (generally) its government's policies, patriotism celebrates the uniquely American belief system not necessarily represented by government. In United States' case, dedication to the notions of individual liberty, and the right and responsibility of the citizenry to guard their freedom jealously, usually from government, existed even before the nation did. America's Revolution began long before the Boston Massacre with the notions that rights are granted by existence, and that government is the child of the citizenry, not the other way around. Some have argued that the American Revolution was not a revolution at all, but rather a Civil War in that the States already had working governments based on individual rights (the Rights of Englishmen). Whatever one's view, America's unique identity was expressed in the speeches, writing, and music of the time, and these preceded the existence of the nation itself. Therefore, American patriotic music is unique in that it celebrates a philosophy, not just a land or its people.

The simple, but timeless principles which American patriotic music espouses, can be found in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights for each generation to rediscover for itself. When Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, and John Adams were appointed to a committee to write America's reasons for declaring Independence from England, they captured the essence of not only a generation, but of a Nation of people for centuries to come. It was their hope that they were making a statement for all of mankind. Now, in the 21st century, that United States is the only world super power, the nation is increasingly divided over both domestic and international policies, as well as the very role of government itself.

Patriot and Patriot 2: "A Celebration of Liberty" continue the tradition of honoring our Founding Principles with the goal of inspiring listeners to read these documents for themselves, and hopefully rekindle a passion for the notions United States is based upon. By avoiding specific political issues, and focusing on the essence of what it means to be an American, Patriot and Patriot 2 "A Celebration of Liberty" were written to help unify both the American people with the timeless principles that made United States what it is, and to inspire all people across the globe to examine how their own political views might effect subsequent generations.
