Description "The Star Spangled Banner" is the US national anthem and is arranged for 4-part male ensemble. It is a mixture of barbershop quartet with a bit of modal harmony. The harmony is beautiful and the presentation is very different from what one normally hears. It is intermediate in difficulty primarily because of the range. The most unusual feature is the bass and baritone sing the melody for most of the arrangement. It is suitable for any venue requiring the National Anthem or may be used in general concerts featuring patriotic music. The audio clip is a computer rendering in Finale.
