The Star Spangled Banner (Free)

In Chuck Marohnic’s evocative interpretation of The Star-Spangled Banner, the familiar melody of America’s national anthem is partnered with a fresh accompaniment that features many creative and surprising harmonies. The end result honors and respects what this piece represents to Americans, while at the same time reframing the work for our modern world. The music is notated for solo piano and also includes chord symbols, allowing jazz pianists to enjoy performing Marohnic’s arrangement as well.
