As for the music, it performed with a full orchestra and boys choir. The voices of the Boys Choir of Harlem make this score work --from the horrors of the bloody battle of Antietam to the epilogue and mass burial. Every 20 or so minutes during ...read the complete Glory movie review at Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)
