A staple at sporting events, 4th of July outings, school assemblies, and more, The Star-Spangled Banner is an important tradition in American culture.
This SSAA a cappella arrangement adds a rich, new layer of harmony to the common melody that we've all come to know. Standard progressions are given a fresh approach with chords smoothly moving from one to the other in a manner influenced by changes found directly in jazz theory. A pinch of syncopation, without overdoing it, adds new bounce to lines that were once stiff and rigid.
If your ensemble is looking for a version of the US National Anthem that has some flavor without straying too far from the original form, this arrangement is for you!
