This stirring arrangement of the Samuel Ward tune is perfect for any patriotic service or concert. A dramatic introduction gives way to a legato first stanza, followed by a more dramatic second stanza. A short interlude leads to the final stanza, which starts slower and legatissimo and concludes powerfully and marcato in the original tempo. 2 trumpets, horn, 2 trombones, tuba, 3 percussion: timpani, chimes, sus.
