Program Notes
Composed by John Stafford Smith, arr. Ian Deterling.
Triumphant and textually rich, this elegant rendition of the national anthem is reflective of the United States; arranged democratically where each part has a degree of independence, the culmination of these distinct voices come together to form a cohesive whole.
