Download or read book The Star Spangled Banner Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Oscar George Theodore Sonneck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Star Spangled Banner, Vol. 1 In the Report on 'the star-spangled Banner, ' 'hail Columbia, ' 'america, ' 'yankee Doodle' (washington, Government Printing Office, the chapter on The star-spangled Banner began with an account of the origin of Francis Scott Key's poem. This was followed by a brief summary of the European and American history' of the tune To Anacreon in Heaven, to which The Star Spangled Banner is sung, by a comparative investigation of extant manuscripts of Key's poem, and finally by a survey of the different versions of the melody as now in use. For this revised and enlarged edition of the chapter a division into two independent sections was found to be more logical and convenient, one on To Anacreon in Heaven, the other on The star-spangled Banner proper. As a prelude to this chapter it is not necessary, but it may not be inadvisable to state, in view of certain tendencies to the contrary in the matter of The star-spangled Banner, that research in musical history, in common with every other kind of historical research, aims solely at the orderly establishment of facts and the logical interpretation of available facts. Such facts or the conclusions from such facts may not always be welcome, but the historian is or should be a seeker after historical truth, often enough stranger and more romantic than fiction. He should never allow possible preferences of his compatriots or his personal idiosyncrasies to obscure his historical vision. For instance, every patriotic American would rejoice, with the author of this Report, if it could be shown by documentary or other unimpeachable evidence that The star-spangled Banner, both in words and music, was of American origin. If that can not be Shown, then every patriotic American will be sensible enough not to betray irritation of his patriotic pride because the music of our star-spangled Banner had its origin in some monarchical country of Europe, whether that be Turkey, Russia, Germany, France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Air of the "Star-Spangled Banner" This is the logical order followed by Dr. Flood. The present article reverses that order and considers, first of all, the attempt to prove an Irish origin. If (as I think can be clearly Shown) the argumentation of Dr. Flood has no good basis in fact, and was therefore foredoomed to failure, the elimination of this new factor from the problem of the authorship will enable the reader to con sider dispassionately the previously accepted view that the air was composed by an Englishman, John Stafford Smith. The effect which Mr. Blake's recent discovery has on the problem can then be intelligently discussed and estimated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Star Spangled Banner From 1814 to the Present In the meantime various patriotic organizations and individuals began taking up the cause of Congressional recognition of the Star Spangled Banner, although critics of the song were saying that recognition was out of the question, because the song expressed an Anglophobic attitude, and was also difficult to sing. The numerous bills introduced in the Congress by various legislators bemeen 1910 and 1931 seeking Congressional recognition of the Star Spangled Banner all failed, until finally, after several unsuccessful attempts, Rep. J. Charles Linthicum introduced a Bill on 'april 15, 1929. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The hasty reader, who has not sufficient interest in the whole matter to wade through a long, because a detailed, analysis and disproof of a most tangled and inconsequent argument may feel that my illustration of the first method will make unnecessary any further reading; for the italicised headings will also serve to illustrate the second method, and give some idea of Dr. Flood's mental processes. The leisured reader, who may also take interest in the matter at issue, will perhaps be willing to follow me in my further illustra tions of the second method.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the Star Spangled Banner and National Songs As a slight cloak of propriety, if not of dignity, for a subject that may be considered of little importance, to which I will invite the attention of the society, for a few minutes, I will offer a familiar quotation from Andrew Fletcher, of Saltoun, a quotation of some value to Fletcher, for it has given him his best hold on the memory of modern times. He writes: "I knew a very wise man who believed that if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation." If this should be thought to be exaggeration, it will not be doubted that national songs, in some degree, form and indicate the character of a people, and are therefore worthy of historical notice. I am not aware that there is more important proof of this power of the Muses than is found in the influence of the song entitled "The Star Spangled Banner" during the struggles for the life of our nation in the last twelve years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our National Flag, "the Star-Spangled Banner" The History of It Mong all the nations of antiquity, especially the heathen nations, their ensigns (the origin of the word is in signo, in sign of) were in one way or another the effigy of, or something representing, the god or gods they worshiped. It would-be idle to attempt to enumerate them. Nor was- this practice confined to heathen nations. When the Israelites strove with Amalek and the victory rested with Israel, Moses, in memory of this victory, caused an altar to be built and inscribed upon it, Jehovah Lord is our ensign, or banner.

This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When the Star Spangled Banner Cheered His Lonely Heart and Sounded Best to Him: Being the Experience of a Soldier of the A. E. F. And a French Child This literary trifle was written in a hurry and under very unfavorable circumstances. The war was over. The only son was safely back. The household goods from the home in Chicago, were packed and stored. My lares and penates were abandoned. If Dick was going back to Oklahoma, so was I. We turned our backs on the city and went to the country the old home Oakland on the Mississippi River. After a few days' rest, Dick went on to the south west. Left alone, as it were, I began to realize that war is never paid for until afterwards. The strain under which I had worked during the war, was telling on me. I felt worn and weary beyond expression. The daily rural route brought me a stack of mail. All magazines and papers were turned over to the tenants. I told them I did not want to look at a magazine or read a paper. They took me liter ally and very carefully tried to keep all reading matter out of my sight, though occasionally, I would hear a newspaper rustling in another room. One day in walking around the yard, I noticed in the blue grass, a torn yellow, dirty, jagged-edged piece of news paper, not as large as the palm of my hand. I stooped and picked it up, intending to put it in the stove. My eye lit on. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on "the Star-Spangled Banner," "Hail Columbia," "America," "Yankee Doodle" In December, 1907, I received instructions from the Librarian of Congress to "bring together the various versions both of text and of music with notes as to the historical evolution" of "The Star-Spangled Banner," "Hail Columbia," "America," and "Yankee Doodle." The report was to be brief and light of touch, but accurate enough for practical purposes. This task would have been comparatively easy had the literature on the subject been reliable. Unfortunately it crumbled under the slightest critical pressure, and it became imperative to devote more research and more analytical and synthetic thought to the report than had seemed advisable at first. This and the fact that the report had to be compiled without neglect of current duties accounts for the delay in submitting it. In form the report is frankly not a history of the subject, such as one would write for popular consumption. Rather, in this report data are collected, eliminated, or verified; popular theories founded on these data are analyzed, their refutation or acceptance is suggested, and, of course, some theories of my own are offered for critical consideration. All this is done in such a form that the reader is at no step supposed to find a locked door between himself and the argument. He is not supposed to accept a single statement of fact or argument unless the evidence submitted compels him to do so. This plein air treatment of a popular theme distinguishes the report somewhat from the bulk of the literature on the subject. In short, though not intended for popular consumption, it may be used for popular consumption with reasonable assurance of accuracy.
