James L. Hosay: A Patriotic Salute: Concert Band: Score & PartsFormat : Score and Parts No one writes more exquisitely patriotic music than James L. Hosay the former head arranger for Pershing s Own United States Army Band in Washington D.C. Dedicated to the memory of Mr. Hosay s mentor Dr. Sydney Berg this moving symphonic setting of THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER is a rich and compelling way to bring a your concert to a close. Of course it works equally well anywhere the National Anthem would be appropriate for performance.The unusual 4/4 meter setting with artfully crafted reharmonizations and lush counterpoint gives each listener cause to reflect on the importance and meaning of this melody to patriotic Americans everywhere.Inspired!
