Product Description
This quick and easy national anthem arrangement is essential for
traveling musicians,bands, instrumental groups and both amateur and
professional ensembles. You can play it with any virtually any
combination of instruments: symphonic band,clarinet choir, brass
ensemble, brass band, solos, duets and trios - almost anything!
This arrangement
is in five independent parts each transposed into a variety of keys. For
the most satisfying sound youll need to get a good balance between
each part possibly with an emphasis on the melodic line. If you have a
non-standard ensemble, you can "pick 'n' mix" as required. The piano
reduction can "fill" missing parts or can be used as the basis for an
accompaniment.

staves. The following parts are printed on separate pages. The score and
