This fast paced, pop-style medley is a break from patriotic tradition. Opening grandly into a contemporary work with 'This Is My Country,' this choral develops into 'America, the Beautiful,' then grows intoa gospel-style setting of 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee' and ends as it began with 'This Is My Country.' It remains up-beat and powerful until the very last chord. 'A Star Spangled Celebration!' isa choreographer's dream of movement and energy, and a wonderful addition to festival programming. Available separately: SATB, SSA, SAB, StudioTrax CD.
