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.

seek thou o tender song
