...Green Freshmen? After passages of spacious solemnity, the horns break suddenly into a capering phrase from Camptown Races; in the midst of the frenzied final movement, doleful woodwinds sound forth with Old Black Joe. Even the ending is typically Ivesian: the entire orchestra comes in with a raucous, jeering cluster of chords...
...sounded for a few raucous moments as if Mickey Mantle had popped up with the bases loaded. While the performer stood transfixed, boos, catcalls and whistles filled the warm night air.

De Creeft gazed up at the cold stovepipes that crossed his studio ceiling and, though still muy mal, put together his famous Picador. Almost overnight he was hailed as the founder of a new school...
