The lyrics come from Defence of Fort M'Henry, a poem written on September 14, 1814, by the then 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the U.S. victory.The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith and renamed The Star-Spangled Banner. With a range of 19 semitones, it is known for being very difficult to sing. Although the poem has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today.This fun and accessible arrangement is perfect for sporting events, school and corporate functions, parades, private events and any other occasion that calls for use of the Star-Spangled Banner!The Arranger:Email: alburden9012@eagle.fgcu.eduAlexander Burden is a Florida born, professional musician and music educator residing in Southwest Florida.

The sound sample is an electronic preview. The original words of the song (followed by my singing translation) are: Rosen brach ich nachts mir am dunklen Hage. Süsser hauchten Duft sie als je am Tage. Doch verstreuten reich die bewegten Äste: Thau, der mich nässte. Auch der Küsse Duft mich wie nie berückte, die ich nachts vom Strauch deiner Lippen pflückte Doch auch dir bewegt im Gemüthgleich jenen, thauten die Thränen. Roses plucked at night from the darkening hedgerow Sweeter scented than ever in the day-glow But its branches showered me with its dewfall moist and youthful and the scent of kisses lent me sweeter sips when I took them deep in the night from your soft lips And they made you just like the roses so tearful moved like the dewfall Translation (c) David Warin Solomons.

Score and parts. 12 pages. Jhcompositions #3447403. Published by Jhcompositions (A0.1004081). Classical guitar and saxophone are not often seen together. This work was commissioned by two such musicians that had only found a small amount of material for the pairing. Both movements show virtuosity of each instrument and the players will find that the frequently changing time signatures make the piece seem mysterious. The balancing of these two instruments can be tricky and requires the players to work with each other carefully when getting used to the timbres together.The piece was inspired by the story of Orpheus and his travel to and from the underworld. The story is timeless and shows the importance the musicians in greek culture.Great training for the use of varying time signatures. This is the complete work.Duration: Apx. 6:45.
