Charles Ives 14. "They Are There" by The Lee University Chorale with Jay Poff - Watch Ives 1-14

They Are There! also called War Song March, reflects Ives's life-long concern for domestic and world politics. The music, originally written for chorus and orchestra during the First World War under the title He Is There!, was intended to be a rallying song supporting the American doughboys abroad. [Moved] by the Second World War in 1942, Ives revised the vocal text, changing the title to They Are There! Around the time of that revision, Ives reflected on the character and meaning of this march: "This song is a rather tough and rough kind of march, especially in the accompaniment, as it was started when hard 'knock-out blows' on the Kaiser were wanted -- and now on an even worse 'Dark Age culprit', Hitler... Strains of former war song tunes will be heard throughout -- especially in the Chorus." These fragmentary quotations include one of Ives' own works, "Country Band" March; the songs Columbia, the Gem; John Brown's Body (Battle Hymn of the Republic); Dixie; Tramp, Tramp, Tramp; Yankee Doodle; Marching Through Georgia; Maryland, My Maryland; La Marseillaise; Battle Cry of Freedom; Tenting on the Old Camp Ground; Star Spangled Banner; and the bugle call, Reveille.

This song features The Lee University Chorale conducted by Phillip Haynie. Accompanists, Bethanie Klob and Michael Land.
