If you need spirited orchestral music for the 4th, try Ludwig, also one of greatest pieces ever.

NPR is addressing the issue of the "Greatest American Symphony". If a vote were taken among critics, it might be Aaron Copland's Symphony #3. I have a special fondness for William Schuman's Symphony #3 (not to be confused with the German-born composer Robert Schumann whose Symphony #3 has a place name: "Rhenish". A piece that's NOT a symphony "America, An Epic Rhapsody" by naturalized American Ernest Bloch has from time to time been played during a 4th of July outdoor concert that I've seen on TV. If they tried playing just the final movement of Charles Ives's fourth Symphony there might be a riot takin to the "Rite of Spring" premier!
