The idea of the whole song Is to have the fanfare at the beginnig

[Thepianoorganist]

hmm were does trumpets in the introduction?

[jpwsml]

Yes, those were trumpets.

From the YouTube sound, there appears to be little wrong with your performance of this, our National Hymn. Thanks for posting this!

[jpwsml]

If it were only true, thanks for the nice comment.

I would suggest not doing the fanfare on the introduction, because 1/3 of the congregation starts singing then.

[jpwsml]

I was just practicing. The Tuba was a little weak wasn't it? :)

[codeman2008]

I couldn't even tell it was a tuba!

the fanfare IS the introduction...iv played for church for about 17 years and never noticed ppl singing the intro.

[jpwsml]

I've been playing for 14 years now and i've never had an issue with it. However my congregations have been accustomed to the fanfare. Maybe some churches don't sing it very often and get a little confused by it.

[octavebasse8]

Where I attend, we have an issue with singing after the fanfare. The way I look at it, you've just set it up so that:

a) You can start singing.

or

b) You can continue with the introduction.
