A Salute To The Armed Force

The Caisson Song • The Marine's Hymn • Anchors Aweigh • The U.S. Air Force • America the Beautiful

Here is a great way to satisfy the uniquely American longing for patriotic expression. This medley, introduced by the last phrase of the National Anthem, uses a narrator to introduce brilliant new arrangements for chorus and band of all four of the service songs (Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force) and concludes with a rousing setting of the refrain of America the Beautiful.
