A bold concert arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the United States national anthem, for brass quintet by Michael Thomas Andrews. This American national anthem setting is written for performance impact—not audience sing-along—with tasteful reharmonisation and melodic hand-offs across the ensemble. Ideal for formal openings, ceremonies, commemorations, and concert programmes where a symphonic treatment of the USA national anthem is desired.

Difficulty: Intermediate (advanced school/college, church, and professional ensembles)

Concert-first design (not sing-along): crafted for cohesive ensemble performance and ceremonial presence.
Reharmonised textures: modern but respectful harmonies supporting the anthem’s familiar contour.
Shared melody: thematic material moves between trumpet, horn, and trombone for colour and balance.
Practical engraving: sensible ranges, clear articulations, efficient rehearsals.
Perfect for: Independence Day (Fourth of July), Memorial Day, Veterans Day, civic ceremonies, graduations, formal openings, contest programmes, and concert encores.
