[Rumori] proto-mashup question

[Squier]

while I'm not able to identify tune titles or years,
Charles Ives was known for combining popular songs of
his day (such as Yankee Doodle and The Star Spangled
Banner) in his compositions. There is a story of one
of his compositional strategies either involving or
being inspired by two marching bands (playing
different tunes) converging on each other. I wish I
had more details but listening to many of his comps
gives the sense of listening to several familiar songs
at once...
