Borodin's "Prince Igor" Overture sounds like the soundtrack for a 1940's Western. At least once it gets to the allegro.

For Independence Day I think we should make Rhapsody in Blue the traditional 4th finale.

The irs seems to have a soft spot for Borodin. I was on hold, humming along with the music. Then I realized it was a Polovtsian Dance - can't recall the number - the one in which slave girls are singing about their native land.

on the wings of gentle zephyrs,
seek thou o tender song
my native country

Hmm. Where do we put the cannon in the arrangement?
