Fourth of July


The third movement of Charles Ives's symphony New England Holidays, depicting a small-town Connecticut Fourth from early morning to a collision of at least two parades (one of the great things about this video is the two conductors), takes its time getting where it's going, and by the time it arrives it's practically over, but it's a wondrous piece of music.



And here's the whole symphony (couldn't find one with any video worth looking at though)
