Tapp Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 34 mins Release date: 06-14-22 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 14 ratings Genres: History & Criticism Publisher's Summary: Mark Clague brilliantly weaves together the stories of the song and the nation it represents. Examining the origins of both text and music, alternate lyrics and translations, and the song’s use in sports, at times of war, and for political protest, he argues that the anthem’s meaning reflects—and is reflected by—the nation’s quest to become a more perfect union. From victory song to hymn of sacrifice and vehicle for protest, the story of Key’s song is the story of America itself.
