Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Football's appeal comes from the vicarious joys of seeing huge men racing around a field trying to knock each other's heads off, right? Not for the millions of people who grew up on the Sunday-morning highlight shows compiled by NFL films (which, through the magic of cable, can now be seen pretty much whenever you turn the TV on). The stylized slow-motion storytelling made the violence seem like a vicious ballet--something that Sam Peckinpah, John Woo, and Ringo Lam have also accomplished in their films--but what's a ballet without music? Sam Spence and Tom Hedden composed a series of classic themes that emphasized the relentless power and dangerous beauty of football (complete with marching drums, heroic horns, and dramatic string sections) to complement the highlights, and John Facenda's poetic narrations brought the whole thing together. Facenda possesses the deepest rumble of a voice this side of James Earl Jones, and listening to him narrate highlights form last week's game makes it sound as if the game were a timeless classic played decades in the past. The Power and the Glory is truly an unexpected pleasure. --Randy Silver

5 out of 5 stars Great NFL Theme Music.......2007-07-05

The NFL off-season seems to last forever, but this can help. It is great music, fun to listen to, and a great way to pass the time. Don't be surprised if you find it as much fun as the NFL Films themselves. Also, great listening for exercise or driving.

5 out of 5 stars Time travel to the "Voice" and NFL greatness........2007-05-18

This is the greatest CD I ever bought. I feel like I have entered into a time machine and traveled back to the 70's and 80's when these films were still on TV. It reminds me of watching and listening to the great players like Ken "the Snake" Stabler QB of the LA Raiders, Gayle Sayres of the Chicago Bears, Bart Starr, and of course "Mean" Joe Greene. And of course this would be nothing without the commentary of the "Voice" John Facenda and the great music.

3 out of 5 stars Some good numbers.......2007-04-07

A bit like Dick Dale would do, these songs are largely variations or altered renditions of existing songs. Even so, one can't help but see the wide shots at the snap of the ball to the sounds of Ramblin Man from Gramblin. One can't help but see the coach carried off by the SB winners when listening to The Raiders, even if it was not the Raiders. In fact, I think Raiders fans often know this particular tune.

Other than that, there are some good numbers mixed in with audio clips. But it's somewhat inconsistent. And I wonder if some numbers that might have been more interesting were not included. I don't know. I like to think, that is, that I can put together an interesting 'mix tape'. I often wonder about those putting together 'greatest hits' albums, though. What have they left out that should be there?

5 out of 5 stars ahhh Football even during the Summer.......2007-03-15

personally i am a huge fanatic of football, be it HS, NCAA and the NFL!!!

this is a must for any football nut who spends hours on the NFL network, website, team sites etc!!!

relatively inexpensive this will make most football fans smile!!!

great Father's Day gift, B-Day or Christmas gift!!!!

5 out of 5 stars This will fire you up.......2007-01-30

Nothing can generate the feel of excitement that you get at the stadium unless you are actually there, but this CD brings you pretty close. It is particularly helpful if you have a team that is not doing too hot because the music can, at the very least, get your juices flowing.

1 out of 5 stars Pretty Heavy-handed stuff here.......2004-03-04

Again, I think altissimo! is going over the top here with the raw patriotism bit. Sure we should be proud of this country, but there does reach a point where it becomes too much and is embarrassing. That point is reached here with this mixed bag of recordings pulled in from over the place, many already released from Altissimo! before and just re-packaged here. If you don't mind patriotism served with a lot of relish then this CD is for you.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful and inspiring..........2003-11-07

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but One Nation Under God is a beautiful ode to patriotism and the United States of America. There isn't a clunker in the 20 songs on the album, not surprising considering you get things like Nearer My God to Thee, God Bless America or Amazing Grace. A fantastic job by the various military bands who contributed to this effort!

5 out of 5 stars One nation Under God.......2003-10-30

"One Nation Under God" is a great compilation of inspirational patriotic music, superbly performed by truly world-class musicians.
The selection of music was excellent, and very much in keeping with the title and the theme of the album. The opening recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance by Senator Thompson, underscored by a most respectful and reverent lead-in to "God of Our Fathers", perfectly set the stage for the well-appointed and majestically performed music that followed.

Several pieces evoked solemn contemplation and reverence, leading to others of pride, majesty and tribute, all arranged and played with proper respect and appropriate to the theme "One Nation Under God".
This is a magnificent and timeless album that will hold a prominent spot in my collection, and be often enjoyed.

5 out of 5 stars One Nation Under God.......2003-09-25

This CD is absolutely awesome ! From the opening of God of our Fathers with the Pledge of Allegiance by Senator Fred Thompson to the final note of Taps, I could not stop listening. This collection of patriotic and inspirational music is a must for all Americans. As an ex-Navy man and Viet Nam veteran, the strains of The Navy Hymn sent chills up and down my spine. It brought back so many precious memories. This collection of 20 songs is a bargain at any price !

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Collection!! Patriotic Music all on one CD !!!.......2003-09-24

This CD is definately for people who are looking to get some uplifting patriotic music for listening to at home, the office, for parades, barbecues, and ecspecially holidays like the 4th of July. Its got all of America's greatest hits including "The Star Spangled Banner", "Amazing Grace", "America The Beautiful", along with other less well known gems such as "Godspeed", and "Pslam for Band". All of the songs are played excellently by the US Marine, Navy, and Air Force bands. The label that put out this release, Altissimo Records actually specializes in military music, so if you like this check our their other releases. Overall Highly Recommended!!!
