Then the violins joined in with The Sweet Bye and Bye, intertwined with clashes of brass and drums and another hymn sung by an 18-voice chorus. The second movement, beginning with a blaring Marching Through Georgia, erupted into a cacophonous frenzy, while above and below individual instruments unconcernedly picked out Yankee Doodle and Turkey in the Straw, After a soothingly lovely third movement, the work ended with a majestic, anthem...

Alta Maloney (Traveler) called it "a whopper of a show-stopper, sung in a voice that made chills go up and down the spine." T.K. Morse (Patriot Ledger) found him "glorious."
