Nielsen | Symphony No. 4 “The Inextinguishable”

Experience works that exemplify the human spirit of the colonists during the Revolutionary War. Ives is a local Massachusetts story. Nielsen and Holst were influenced by what was in the air during WW1 — humanity’s desire to live in freedom from oppression.
