"I loved the music!"
Same here!
Me, too. It's just not as recognizable. I say keep playing it and it will catch on!
"I loved the music!"
"Same here!"
I've only read about half this massive thread, but regarding the music, I thought Red Sea's comment about Jewish prophecy of music like none that had ever yet been heard was very interesting. If it's true, then I guess we're not in the end times yet.
I was struck during the medley of classic patriotic songs that was played just after the speech: it opened with the melodic whistling of a single, thin fife on top of the brasses' more typical loud braying.
The meandering fife tune was eerily Middle Eastern in sound and feeling, reminiscent of bazaars and snake charmers. Music communicates directly to the heart and spirit, bypassing words. This Inauguration was being broadcast all over the Middle East by Al Jazeera and others. I thought that the fife arrangement, however inadvertent, was a subliminal message of harmony between our culture and theirs.
(BTW, the fife has an honored place in American history from the days of the Revolution. The appearance of the fife-playing Minuteman regiment in full costume gave me enormous joy.)
