Publisher's Synopsis
Scroll below for a video of the score as played in Finale. This arrangement of one of America's best-loved patriotic tunes requires the Grade 3 technical skills, range, and maturity of high school or college-level performers and an accomplished organist. After a short organ introduction in common time, the tune is introduced by the soloist in Concert Key of C Major. There are modulations into verses and choruses of the tune in the Concert Keys of Ab, Db, Bb and Eb Major. The range is not extreme (high G), rhythmic demands of the familiar tune are very minimal which makes this a rather easy arrangement to put together and a popular choice for performances in many types of church, school, and civic programs. This volume contains a score for organ (without designated stops) accompanying a C Instrument in Bass Clef. There are individual instrumental parts for: C Instrument in Treble Clef (Flute, Oboe, Violin - in 2 octaves); * Bb Instrument in Treble Clef (Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet); * Eb Instrument in Treble Clef (Alto Clarinet, Alto Saxophone); * F Instrument in Treble Clef (Horn in F - in 2 octaves); * C Instrument in Bass Clef (Bassoon, Trombone, Euphonium, Cello); * Low C Instrument in Bass Clef (String Bass, Tuba), and a part in alto clef for Viola. This arrangement features the full power of the organ. It will be a very special addition to your collection of instrumental solo works with organ accompaniment.
