Dixie is NOT "cacaphonous" It is joyous and somber and joyous again. Think what that music was for. And then marvel at how its spirit has been captured by this orchestra - hope and pride and excitement and victory and defeat and nostalgia are set to musicI have been looking for this album for nearly 50 years and what I remembered most clearly was this arrangement of "Dixie." I had remembered it being by Percy Faith or the 101 Strings - I'd frankly forgotten about Carmen Dragon. Not again. Not ever will I forget again. Put this music on. Play "Dixie" and then play "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" You will be transported to another place. And you will come back time after time to listen again.You not only will not regret buying this album - you will put it at or near the top of all your favorites. It's that good.
