A Patriotic Salute - James L. Hosay

No one writes more exquisitely patriotic music than James L. Hosay, the former head arranger for "Pershing's Own" United States Army Band in Washington D.C. Dedicated to the memory of Mr. Hosay's mentor, Dr. Sydney Berg, this moving symphonic setting of THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER is a rich and compelling way to bring a your concert to a close. Of course it works equally well anywhere the National Anthem would be appropriate for performance.The unusual 4/4 meter setting with artfully crafted reharmonizations and lush counterpoint gives each listener cause to reflect on the importance and meaning of this melody to patriotic Americans everywhere.Inspired!

A Patriotic Treasure - Scott Stanton

An outstanding choice for any group with very limited instrumentation, Scott Stanton's original arrangement includes America, America the Beautiful and The Star Spangled Banner. From the "Build-A-Band" Series, it is playable with virtually any instrumentation as long as all four of the main parts are covered and it also includes optional parts for Mallets, Guitar, Keyboards, Strings, and Percussion. All three pieces can be performed separately if desired and it will provide an impressive sound even with very small groups.

A Patriotic Trilogy - Andy Clark

A outstanding medley including "America", "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "America the Beautiful". Sections contrast back and forth between legato and marcato styles and the middle section is an excellent place to work on the dotted eighth-sixteenth note rhythm patterns. Useful for a variety of performance situations. Also includes an optional keyboard part for a rehearsal aid or as a performance enhancer with very small groups.
