If you want to get your blood stirred

on the way to work, just listen to a good recording of the final movement of Saint-Saens' Third Symphony (the "Organ").  It will make you want to join the army, confound the heathen and salute the flag.

I think I have commented before that brings back a lot of memories to me. While I was at Arkansas Tech, they got a transcription for symphonic band of that movement, and Dr. Rolland Shaw played the big pipe organ in the concert hall.
