	Boston Pops Orchestra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boston Pops Orchestra was founded in 1885 as a subsection of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
		In 1881, Henry Lee Higginson, the founder of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, wrote of his wish to present in Boston "concerts of a lighter kind of music." The Boston Pops Orchestra was founded to present this kind of music to the public, with the first concert performed in 1885.
		Fiedler is most widely remembered in Boston for having begun the annual tradition of the Fourth of July Pops concert and fireworks display on the Esplanade, one of the best-attended Independence Day celebrations in the country with regular estimated attendance of 200,000–500,000 people.

	James Taylor and the Boston Pops Orchestra, at Tanglewood, July 17, 2002::newberkshire.com
		The combined draw of John Williams, the Boston Pops Orchestra and James Taylor filled the Shed, the lawn and the surrounding woods and parking lots with concertgoers, who were treated to a one-of-a-kind show that drew lines connecting the American spirit and the ongoing struggle for freedom to the musical heritage celebrating that spirited struggle.
		The tone was set in the first half of the program, when Taylor joined the Pops to narrate an excerpt from Aaron Copland's "A Lincoln Portrait." It was a brilliant choice, underlining what indeed is a Lincolnesque quality in the pop-folk singer-songwriter, seen in public for perhaps the first time in suit and tie.
		The orchestra backed Taylor on the set-closing version of "Fire and Rain," which, taken at a slower pace than the original and with some additional orchestral swells and flourishes and an added crescendo at the end, took on the aspect of a Williams composition.
