This intermediate woodwind quartet digital download arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (The U.S. National Anthem) is perfect for pops concerts, patriotic events, American holiday concerts, such as July 4th, Flag Day, or Memorial Day, and military ceremonies. This setting is written for groups ranging from advanced high school ensembles to college groups to professional quartets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon.
You can trust an arrangement of our National Anthem from a retired U.S. Air Force Bandsman. After performing this piece over 1,000 times in my 24-year AF Band career, I understand it quite well. Good to go. Although scored for only four woodwind instruments, this arrangement sounds full and complete and will help you and your audiences honor our country during your patriotic events. Originally scored for a full military band, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds.
If you like this arrangement, you might also like my woodwind quartet arrangement of John Philip Sousa's iconic march "Hands Across the Sea." You can purchase this charming arrangement of an American patriotic classic at: Sheet Music Direct Sheet Music Plus
