+JediMaster Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I wish THAT were our Nat'l anthem. That or America the Beautiful.
+Dave Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 No I love our national anthem when its played like this... Now that's how its done! 1
+JediMaster Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Well, EVERYTHING is better with a full orchestra and choir!
Capitaine Vengeur Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Well, EVERYTHING is better with a full orchestra and choir! Not always. Our French Marseillaise is a Revolutionary anthem, and I have always found it more significant when chanted disharmoniously by a defiant angry and hungry mob, rather than played in a pompous and starched way by a bourgeois orchestra. About "God bless America" as an anthem, it would sound like the Canadian neighbour's one, something peaceful yet proud. But some nations have to live with the fact that they have been born in the blood of those who fought and died for or against their independence.
+JediMaster Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 It's not about the lyrics, it's about the music. The man was a poet, not a songwriter, and the words are excellent while the music matched to it never did anything for me. It might be the constant climbing and descending of the octaves, I'm not sure.
