Just a comment on the subject of music from this period: there used to be (now lost) in our school music library, an LP of Sousa marches directed by some of his family descendants. It was remarkably light and clear, more transparently orchestrated and played than anything we hear now. It was a revelation to me and made me appreciate the grace of this music, as well as the effect of power we normally get from it.

I'd love to hear that recording again, but it's been lost from here for years.
