Liberty! is a stirring retelling of the historic confrontation
between Texas patriots and the Mexican army, commanded by Santa Anna. While
adhering faithfully to the facts of the matter, Taylor's
presentation offers
compelling portraits of the men and women, Texan, Tejano, black and white, who
chose to defend liberty with their lives. The show debuted in San Antonio at
the Josephine Theatre in 1998.
The two-CD studio recording of Bernard Taylor's Liberty! features an international
cast with Michael Berlet, Richard Warren, Richard Austin, Jeffrey
Jones-Ragona, Matt Elizondo, other soloists and members of the Capital City
Men's Chorus of Austin, Texas. © 1998
