This is the first piece in my music history class that has been in English. We finally get to a language I can understand, and I can't understand the music at all. But I love it!
Thank you, Jay! I have been looking for this tune here for ages! I was privilidged be among the Chorus when it was performed for the Ives Centenial Concert at the Fairgrounds, Danbury, CT, July Fourth, 1974: McHenry Boatwright, Baritone; M Tilson-Thomas conducting. Leonard Bernstien was there, too, doing the Sym #2 with the National Sym Orch. "Circus Band" was also on the program (Chorus and Orchestra version).
A Day never to be forgotten. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful performance.
