The impulse for writing the piece came from the September 11 attacks. The composer admitted in an interview with Tygodnik Powszechny that he loves America uncritically and incurably. The author's intention was to encourage the Americans. The work includes allusions to the song of Samuel Ward, America, the Beautiful from 1895. The work was completed in 2003. The world premiere took place in Warsaw on September 2, 2003. The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra was conducted by Antoni Wit.[1]
