In addition to containing classical elements, the overall style of this composition was heavily influenced by the pop ballads of the rock band Chicago. I would like to thank Chicago for inspiring me as a listener, musician, and composer, and to congratulate them on their 40th anniversary.

I would like to dedicate Triumph of the Heart to my parents, Franklin and Virginia Adams, for all of the love and support they have given me throughout my life.
- Franklin Adams, Jr.
