CONDUCTOR ’ S VIEW :
The spirit of our country was first defined when Charles Carroll , along with other delegates from the 13 colonies , signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 ! Ives ’ “ Putnam ’ s Camp ” ( written in 1914 ) is the boisterous depiction of a Fourth of July picnic interwoven with famous patriotic tunes that Mr . Carroll may have known . A jump across the ocean , Mozart ’ s Rondo for Violin and Orchestra was also written in 1776 while the composer lived in Salzburg .
