The final piece in this series was rearranged for mezzo-soprano and piano and catalogued as #106 in the composer's collection, 114 Songs. That piece, which begins with a soft, fragmented pastoral theme that segues into an English and French horn narrative melody, and ends in near silence after a dissonant brass crescendo, was inspired by a poem of the same name by Robert Underwood Johnson. The first piece pays tribute to a monument, while the second tells of a child encountering a "tall woman" and a band of marching soldiers after falling asleep at a Fourth of July picnic in Redding. FTP, a Saint-Gaudens sculpture, Putnam's Camp, and the Housatonic River at Stockbridge form the basis of what trio of symphonic pieces by Charles Ives?
