This fast paced pop-style medley is a break from patriotic tradition. Opening grandly into a contemporary work with “This Is My Country ” this choral develops into “America the Beautiful ” then grows intoa gospel-style setting of “My Country 'Tis of Thee” and ends as it began with “This Is My Country.” It remains up-beat and powerful until the very last chord. “A Star Spangled Celebration!” isa choreographer's dream of movement and energy and a wonderful addition to festival programming. Available separately: SATB SSA SAB StudioTrax CD.
