Grant said he only knew two tunes: One was \u201cYankee Doodle,\u201d and the other wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Marine\u2019s Hymn\u201d was based on an aria by composer Jacques Offenbach in his opera <em>Genevieve de Brabant<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>On shipboard, John Philip Sousa, the March King, learned of the death of his friend, David Blakeley.\u00a0\u00a0Sousa heard a melody dancing around in his mind.\u00a0\u00a0On land, he wrote down our future national march, \u201cThe Stars and Stripes Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katherine Lee Bates, an English professor, wrote the words for \u201cAmerica the Beautiful,\u201d inspired by a trip to Pike\u2019s Peak, with music written down on a shirt cuff by a friend of the composer, Samuel A. Ward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOff We Go into the Wild Blue Yonder,\u201d the official song of the U.S. Air Force, was composed by Robert Crawford, \u201cThe Flying Baritone.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Though Crawford failed in his attempt to become an Air Force pilot, his song was chosen over 750 entries in a contest, beating out entries by Meredith Willson, composer of \u201c76 Trombones,\u201d and even Irving Berlin, the immigrant who wrote \u201cGod Bless America\u201d as a thank-you to his beloved country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for our much-maligned national anthem, \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner,\u201d the words were written by Georgetown lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key, an envoy for President James Madison.\u00a0\u00a0Key boarded a British vessel to secure the release of his friend, Dr. William Beames, but the British held him on board while their fleet shelled Ft. McHenry.\u00a0\u00a0Today, protesters criticize those nasty \u201cbombs in the air\u201d and the \u201crockets\u2019 red glare,\u201d but they were directed against Americans, and when Key saw that the tattered American flag had survived, he saw it as a symbol that our young country would survive the war of 1812.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=1297\">Our War against Iran Makes Sense<\/a><\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s musical legacy is much more than just patriotic songs.\u00a0\u00a0The stories here come from a wonderful book, <em>Our Musical Heritage: From \u201cYankee Doodle\u201d to Carnegie Hall, Broadway, and the Hollywood Sound Stage<\/em> by Dr. Mark Evans, composer; pianist; author; and founder of Cultural Conservation, an organization dedicated to preserving the best of culture and the arts.\u00a0\u00a0He identifies four great genres of American music: concert music, jazz, musical theater, and film music.<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s concert music is a melting pot of musical styles and origins, symphonies, concertos, operas, and ballets inspired by folk tunes, hymns and spirituals, cowboy songs and European traditions.\u00a0\u00a0It was written by larger-than-life figures:\u00a0\u00a0Roy Harris, born in a log cabin on Lincoln\u2019s birthday in Lincoln County, Oklahoma; eclectic Aaron Copland, from Brooklyn; Virgil Thomson, the Kansas City Francophile; Howard Hanson, the \u201cAmerican Sibelius\u201d from Wahoo, Nebraska; and the Italian-American Paul Creston, among others.\u00a0\u00a0Renowned \u00e9migr\u00e9s came to America seeking freedom and contributing to our musical identity, often as teachers, including Sergei Rachmaninoff, Igor Stravinsky,\u00a0\u00a0Arnold Schoenberg, and Ernst Toch, as well as Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Aurelio de la Vega, two of Mark Evans\u2019s distinguished teachers.<\/p>\n<p>African-Americans brought African rhythms to the U.S. and developed the blues, spirituals, and eventually jazz.\u00a0\u00a0Jazz pianist Dr. Billy Taylor said that jazz developed steadily from a single expression of black people to a national music that expresses Americana to Americans as well as to people from other countries.\u00a0\u00a0It is characterized by simultaneous composition and performance and that elusive, magical element called swing.<\/p>\n<p>Musical theater in America began when a producer added pretty French dancers, stranded when a theater burned down, to an unmusical drama.\u00a0\u00a0Years later, <em>Away We Go<\/em>, a musical by Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein replaced the traditional chorus girls with a woman churning butter on stage.\u00a0\u00a0Skeptics said, \u201cNo girls, no gags, no chance,\u201d but the show, renamed <em>Oklahoma<\/em>, became an American classic.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe Great American Songbook\u201d was created by composers and lyricists who were true poets, including Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein II, George and Ira Gershwin, Frank Loesser, Frederick Loewe, Alan Jay Lerner, and Leonard Bernstein.<\/p>\n<p>Film music began when orchestras led by conductors such as Irvin Talbot accompanied performances of silent films in huge theaters called movie palaces.\u00a0\u00a0Film scoring evolved into an art form, and some of America\u2019s finest music was written for motion pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Children, especially teenagers, are inundated by the sounds of rock, pop, and rap online and even in the classroom.\u00a0\u00a0They are not taught America\u2019s true musical history in school.<\/p>\n<p>For years, academicians resisted music education.\u00a0\u00a0When Lowell Mason introduced music in the public schools of Boston, many claimed that music is an illegitimate subject and that Mason shouldn\u2019t be paid.\u00a0\u00a0On learning that John Knowles Paine had been named America\u2019s first music professor, Harvard historian Francis Parkman declared, \u201c<em>musica delenda est<\/em>,\u201d or \u201cmusic must be destroyed.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0If students think musical theater began with <em>The Phantom of the Opera<\/em> and ended with <em>Hamilton<\/em>, or that film scores began with <em>Titanic<\/em>, they\u2019re learning little.<\/p>\n<p>Ronald Reagan famously declared that freedom is only one generation away from extinction.\u00a0\u00a0The same is true of America\u2019s musical heritage.\u00a0\u00a0Parents and grandparents today have the opportunity to expose their children and grandchildren to the best of American music.\u00a0\u00a0You\u2019re never too young to begin or too old to learn.<\/p>\n<p>When we celebrate 250 years of American liberty, freedom, achievement, prosperity and innovation, we shouldn\u2019t forget the music that accompanied and contributed tremendously to two and a half centuries of greatness.\u00a0\u00a0May the creative spirit and freedom that can produce both a Golden Dome and golden melodies survive and thrive for centuries to come.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=1296\">The Commissar\u2019s Plans to Steal Elon Musk\u2019s
