And when. In the tint rayi of
dawn of September 14, Key (till
beheld the tame glorious ban
ner waving from it accustomed
place, he wrote the words of
The Star Spangled Banner.
The actual definition of the
colors bequeathed by the con
tinental congress is as follows:
White: Purity and Innocence.
Red: Hardiness and Valor.
Blue: Vigilance, Perseverance,
Justice.
Jaunesse Builer
As mentioned recently by the
writer, in a letter to the eauoi
nf the Medford Mail Tribune, a
generally accepted opinion has
grown with the years, that The
Star Spangiea Banner is kj
ficult for the average voice
With this in mind, the writer de
cided to investigate and called
upon professional Medford vocal
Ists for their views about the
matter.
Such wealth of helpful In-anirlna-
ideas regarding the sing
ins of our national anthem re
sulted from this inquiry that It
becomes a privilege to snare
them with readers of this news
naoer. The writer earnestly
hnnes that those who have ac
cepted what may be found only
mistaken idea will challenge
11 in the future, saying in sub
stance, 'Who goes there?" be
fore deciding they are unable to
express in tone the sentiments
of Key s verses.
Mental Hasard
"1 think It is only a mental
hazard." said Roberta Ward
Bebb. "Perhaps we have not
really felt the words before, as
we do now with our feelings In
tenslfled. Now we actually live
the spirit of the words, every
one feels It and we will natur
ally out our hearts Into the sing
Ing of it, the lofty thoughts of
the verses.
1 love It. I love to sing It
I am definitely opposed to any
change, to another song for out
national expression." That was
the answer given by Elsie Carle
ton Strang. The time and
rhythm are not difficult, thinks
Mrs. Strang, who shares in the
thought of many others, as to
its unquestioned dignity "Let
it sing Itself' she advises, add
ing. "The harmony Is beautiful."
Since we expect "The Star
Spangled" to be sung by groups,
both large and small, Effie Her
bert Kurtz suggests that It could
be sung one whole step lower. In
the key of A flat, instead of In
B flat, in which It usually ap
pears. The lower key gives a
more comfortable range for all
concerned, this teacher believes
In part singing, group singing
with mixed voices, it would not
be difficult, she has found from
experience.
Right Start Needed
Ralph Burgess, son of tha late
"Art," and a former professional
of the light opera stage, says
that a right start is vitally im
portant. "Let some one Just start
group out correctly and they
will soon be singing spontaneous
ly and will reach even the high
notes with more or less esse."
Mr. Burgess adds, however, that
tha highest notes could be
"pointed" and still kept In har
mony, a practice common among
instructors of school children or
in chorus work, making it sim
pler to sing In unison.

"It has a long range, of course. u' T. i " To
W. .11 realm that." admit. I V, ""J? 'I.1?.'"? ?r"9l
Edith Stevens "But a crowd is
quite apt to start singing In t
key higher than that In which it
was composed, and it reaches the
note of "F" only twice. In the
original key. It some voices In
a large group cannot reach "F,"
there will always be others who
can and who will carry It
through that brief, difficult
phrase."
"Yes, there Is something we
should like to say regarding It,"
said Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Mac
Donough. "We would like to
hear the right words emphasized
at the end of each chorus. So
many times the words, 'of and
'the' are made the most Import
ant Instead of 'home' and
brave.' To do this, the word
home" would have to be given
little more time, the word the
little less."
It was on the evening of Sep
tember 13. 1814, during the wai
of 1812 that the British fleet
anchored In Chesapeake bay. A

Maryland had been captured by
the British and sent as a prisoner
to Admiral Cochrane ! flag ship
Francis Scott Key. hearing of
his friend's misfortune, hastened
to the British commander to en
deavor to have his friend re
leased. The enemy was about to
attack Fort McHenry, so the re
lease was refused, until after the
tort was captured.
