The Star-Spangled Banner, the National Anthem of the United States, in intermediate level piano solo. This arrangement is in the traditional style with lots of patriotism and flair. The lyrics are included for not only the 1st verse, which is always sung, but it includes the 3rd verse which is so very moving! This verse speaks of the heaven rescued land praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must when our cause it is just...our motto: In God is our trust! This arrangement uses lots of octaves in the L.H., and melody uses 3-note chords and a couple 4-note chords. (If this is too much to reach, leave off the lowest note of the chord.) There is an optional spectacular ending on the last page for extra flair! Just add cannons and fireworks! A must have for patriotic repertoire, school, church or patriotic gathering.
