By Francis Scott Key / arr. Mike Story
Item: 00-26960
Series: Big and Easy
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
Level: 2
Here is an extremely easy arrangement of America's national anthem. Written not only for the young band, but for any group with limited instrumentation or rehearsal time. Mike has eliminated the fermatas and the ritard by carefully placing extra measures in the last two phrases. Stunning!

As an American, I can say this is the most patriotic version of our national anthem.

This was not composed by Francis Scott Key, he only wrote the poem that became the words. The actual composer is John Stafford Smith.
