A song setting of the American Pledge of Allegiance in the style of
the great classical masters. Words are adapted from Francis
Bellamy's landmark pledge of 1892: "I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it
stands, one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all."
The character of the music is solemn, evocative, powerful, and
devotional and is equally suited to grace special, formal occasions
and private moments. While the complete composition includes an
introduction and a coda that encourage an appropriately reverent
approach and departure, the central hymn-like setting of the pledge
may also be sung on its own and without accompaniment. The piano
part is imaginative and somewhat challenging; it makes a beautiful
composition in its own right that will be welcomed by pianists. The
key of the piece is E major and the vocal range is from low E to
high G sharp, and thus ideally suited for soprano or tenor voices.
The performance time is just under two minutes. The composition
celebrates the noblest sentiment and ideals of this great nation. -
The additional works for guitar or piano range from simple to
intermediate difficulty and are mostly romantic in character. They
will be welcomed as exciting and rewarding recital pieces. The song
"Come, be merry " is an addition to the Christmas repertory. A few
of the solo pieces employ C clefs.
