The Star-Spangled Banner. 21st Century, Gospel, Jazz, Pop, Latin. Advanced. Sheet Music Single. Published by Don Hodell Chilcote The Star-Spangled Banner is composed by Don Hodell Chilcote for advanced piano. A setting of the national anthem, just has been updated to include funk, latin, gospel, jazz, and bebop. Simple and groovin at times and also harmonically daring and rich with great resonance. Big Chords and great nonfunctional Gospel sounding voice leading produces a striking example of the beauty qualities of this astounding gem. Piece includes multiple distinct and unique themes and developments before concluding. 6 page arrangement is challenging but not overly so, and well worth the effort to learn. Deeply funky tune draws from inspiration in Hezekiah Walker, Chick Corea, Ricky Dillard, Charlie Parker, and Theolonious Monk. It was used for a piano and drum prelude in church, for a moment in time. It was lots of fun to play.
