The Star-Spangled Banner (John Stafford Smith)


Program Notes

Composed by John Stafford Smith, arr. Ian Deterling.

Exciting and triumphant yet textually rich and reflective, this unique rendition of the national anthem was arranged for Posaune Brasil at the Thomas Jefferson House Foundation in Brasilia.
