at least, is unfortunately believed to
carry a note of sectionalism.
The majestic Battle Hymn of the
Republic musicians claim, falls
short of the standard, while "The
Red, White and Blue" Rally
Round the Flag and others also
are said to be unsuitable. Dixie" ="
although powerful emotional ap-
peal, is acknowledged to be peculiar
ly the song of the South.
The music of the Star Spanglcd
Banner has been adversely criti-
cized because its wide range makes
its singing difficult for the average
crowd. Yet, its appeal has increased
through century to the point
where it would be difficult to dis
place it in the affections of the
American people. The words, writ
ten under the stress of strong patri-
otic emotion, express sentiments
that are the bulwark Of the nations
pride.
Key, Just before he wrote The
Star Spanged Banner" had been ap-
pointed an emissary from the town
of Marlborough in Maryland to the
British commander to procure the
release OF a captured Marlborough
physician. His mission was sue
ccssfuI but Key was detained few
days until the enemy could launch
the attack on Baltimore. From the
deck OF the British vessel he watch
ed shot and shell rain on the ram
parts Of Fort McHcnry through the
day and night, and in the poem he
expresses his elation when he saw
the flag still waving at dawn.
An effective musical vehicle for
the poem was found in the ioyial Old
British song "Ancrcon in Heaven"
the authorship of which is in con-
troyersy. DR.. Samuel Arnold pop
ularly is believed to have composed
"Anacreon," and the resolution now
before congress provides that the
music as written by him shall be
used. "Anacreon," to whom the
song was inscribed, has been char
acterized as one &c Greece's most
brilliant, but bibuIous lyric poets.
