American Heroes

This stirring medley is a great way to satisfy the uniquely American longing for patriotic expression. Introduced by the last phrase of the National Anthem, Carl Strommen's medley includes all four of the traditional service songs (Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force) in rousing settings that can be done with optional narrator, chorus or band alone. The salute ends with a heartfelt setting of the refrain of America the Beautiful. This selection is guaranteed to bring your audience to its feet!

American Hymn - William Schuman

American Hymn was commissioned by the American Bandmasters Association and the United States Air Force Band. It received its premiere on March 5th, 1980 as part of the 40th anniversary of the American Bandmasters Association in Washington, DC. It is based on an earlier choral work which Schuman contributed to a comprehensive survey entitled American Hymns Old and New, published by Columbia University Press. The Langston Hughes text that inspired the original human is simple and straightforward, which is reflected in the melodic setting (quasi hymn-spiritual).

Complete statements of the tunes and rhythmic motifs propel the music toward an exuberant combination of the melodies. (6 minutes)
