Stars in the Field of Blue
For 42 years (1889-1931) it was a flip of a coin as to what the U.S. national anthem would be. Hail Columbia (our "almost" national anthem) has been magnificently set for full orchestra by the distinguished American composer, Paul Whear. This thrilling concert opener or closer has optional vocal parts for chorus or audience sing-along. Celebrate America and American music with this outstanding new patriotic selection!
