When folks tell you they only like "older" music... (check out the 2nd movement)

My first thought was how Ives. Then I found this:
In the second movement, “The Lusty Society of Common Humor,” the troops have gathered in their separate campsites. No fewer than eight different songs – Czech, German, Slovak, Italian, and more – are heard, in seven different keys, all at once and each starting at a different time. Biber gets his point across by remarking in one of the string parts that “hic dissonat ubique nam ebrii sic diversis Cantilenis clamare solent” (“Here it is dissonant everywhere, for thus are the drunks accustomed to bellow with different songs”). This short, bizarre movement anticipates similar juxtapositions by Charles Ives of unrelated music by over two hundred years. From Reno Chamber Orchestra program notes
I'm surprised he wasn't burned at the stake! He was a rebel.
Interesting non the less.

I don't know Ives, but that's quite something - set off by some extremely in-my-wheelhouse tonal writing.

This is just wonderful.. I really enjoyed the whole thing! Yes, the 2nd mov't almost feels like one of the clefs was mislabeled:) hilarious if serious.... so I looked for other 'tells' as it proceeded.. There is a gorgeous modulation in the last mov't - somewhat unexpected - though does resolve- in m 134-135.
I loved the earlier folk influence especially at the 3rd mov't(?) der Mars at 3'27"
Really great fun, John.. and I must add, really vibrant playing!
PS.. oh.
