March composed by Alexander Lithgow.
"Land of Moa" is a nickname for New Zealand, Lithgow's home for many years. The flightless moa, about twelve feet tall and now extinct, was related to the ostrich. It received its name from the Maoris. It's estimated the Moa went extinct in the 15th century.
Performed by the US Navy Band.
The painting is of the moa by Heinrich Harder.
