Duration: 2 Min 8 sec

Composer’s Notes: “The Star‐Spangled Banner: A Variation on the US National Anthem” is a work for solo piano inspired by the words and tune of the US National Anthem.

There were a lot of intentional modal and harmonic choices I made throughout this arrangement in order to paint moods to the words, that being said, I'm just going to let you listen as you play and decide what it all means to you.
