The Fourth of July - Music by John Cacavas

An amazing pastiche of some of America's most loved patriotic music that pulls out all the stops! A fanfare-like introduction leads into motifs of 'You're a Grand Old Flag', 'Columbia, The Gem of the Ocean' and 'Battle Hymn of the Republic,' before segueing to the main theme, 'America the Beautiful.' Later on you'll hear touches of 'The Caissons Song' and 'Give My Regards to Broadway,' a march version of 'Yankee Doodle Boy' and 'Over There'. (Grade 4)
