Lincoln Era Star-Spangled Banner Sung by Ed Pierce

Ed Pierce singing an 1853 arrangement of the Star-Spangled Banner by Allen Dodworth accompanied by the 1st Brigade Band of Watertown, Wisconsin. Dodworth's band accompanied the 71st New York Infantry early in the war and participated in a concert given by the regiment for President Lincoln at the Navy Yards on March 9, 1861. The Star-Spangled Banner was the finale of the program. Dodworth's arrangement appeared in his book, The School of the Brass Band. When the 1st Brigade Band requires a vocal version of the Star-Spangled Banner for concert or ceremonial use, this is the arrangement chosen. Recorded at a rehearsal on March 6th, 2009.
