Posted by Gordon at November 4, 2014 9:01 AMThe melancholy tenor of this is perfect. It is almost a question: Land of the free? Home of the brave..?
Posted by Leslie at November 4, 2014 9:47 AMYes, I thought much the same, Leslie. It is beautiful, and ineffably sad. Almost a requiem.
Posted by Julie at November 4, 2014 10:06 AMGrace notes indeed. Like a prayer on Election Eve.
Posted by Tuesday Anon at November 4, 2014 10:51 AMTHAT'S the way you improvise, from within the tune.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Amen.
