Charles Ives - Holidays Symphony - II. Decoration Day

[0betalibrae0]

A wonderful ode to a forgotten holiday, that is now just a car sale special, r the start of the unofficial summer for businesses. But, once used to actually commerorate soldiers, on May 30th, a date chosen for it was not the anniversary of a battle. Untile the uniformed holiday act of 68.
