I came across this while in San Diego, so pardon for the delay in posting. The Atlantic, which published Julia Beecher Stowe's poem/lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic over 150 years ago, asked Jon Batiste to record a version for its new podcast. Here's an article discussing the work, including a behind-the-scenes video. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/07/jon-batiste-battle-hymn-of-the-republic-q-and-a-radio-atlantic-podcast-interview/534264/ The article, and the history of the lyrics, is featured early in episode one (most of the first 10 minutes). As he explains, most of the song is created using the piano, with objects used to create sounds you might not expect from a piano. A full version of the song starts at roughly 1:03:00. David
