The work initially channels Roosevelt's youthful energy and buoyant personality by weaving in popular songs of his era, including \"Take Me Out to the Ballgame\" and \"A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.\" This lively atmosphere is eventually shattered by tragedy, reflecting the death of Roosevelt's son in combat and the profound grief that extinguished the President's boyish spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite this heartbreak, the piece concludes with a powerful testament to resilience, culminating in Roosevelt's famous declaration that true honor belongs to those who strive and \"dare greatly,\" rather than to \"cold and timid souls.\" This striking biographical work is part of a four-president collection (featured alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt) recorded for Albany Records, made possible by the generosity of Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Protone Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45992707817551,"sku":"VB053","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/d8c73c41e915af1aec44390089ed94f7.png?v=1782914191","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/change-me-protone","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
