This famous melody became very popular during the American Revolution and was first published in 1778 as a patriotic hymn. It served as the unofficial national anthem during that war. Michael Story infuses this tune with satisfying harmonic structuring and presents it in a version playable by the youngest band or ensemble. A most satisfying and sophisticated presentation. (1:51)
