The Star Spangled Banner Paul G Young

Instrumental music teachers receive countless requests for their students to perform the National Anthem. There are standard arrangements of varying levels of difficulty applicable for outdoor athletic and civic events. But what about other settings? What is available for teachers and students of small programs? What alternatives to standard arrangements exist that could be used for indoor programs, sporting events, assemblies, and more? This arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner is intended to be different (Listen to an arrangement score on video below). It is arranged in 4/4 time rather than the traditional 3/4. It is priced to be a convenient fit within small budgets. It enables teachers to easily access printable parts for eight different combinations of instruments. The parts, all in PDF, may be photocopied by the purchaser for rehearsal and performance purposes, saving money on replacement copies of damaged or lost music. In sum, this publication contains eight separate quartet arrangement of the song (see Contents). Four FlutesFlute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon (Woodwind Quartet) Two Oboes, Two BassoonsTwo Altos, One Tenor, One Baritone SaxophonesFour Bb Trumpets (or Bb Clarinets) Two Bb Trumpets, One Trombone, One Tuba (Brass Quartet) Four Horns in FFour Trombones (Optional Euphoniums, Tuba) Many school music teachers, church musicians, as well as private teachers will find this publication to be very useful. Church musicians often have instrumentalists who enjoy playing for worship services and other programs but can't find literature for their instrument pairings. They will find this version to be quite appropriate and satisfactory. Many school music teachers have high school bands or orchestras with limited instrumentation but good players. They have difficulty finding printed music for students to play. Looking for something new for indoor pep band activities? Give this arrangement a look. You will find that this publication is just what you were looking for. Be sure to peruse other similar publications by searching "paul g. young, ph.d." in books at Amazon.com.
