Publisher Desc.  Honor America with this new patriotic arrangement of one of our most beloved traditional melodies now arranged for string quartet. Set in the key of G major and staying in first position throughout, occasional meter changes from three-four to four-four will keep your young players on their toes. This arrangement provides an optional 3rd violin part for quartets lacking a viola. Note: This arrangement is identical to the arrangement for string orchestra by this composer, but only includes single copies of each part and does not include the string bass or rehearsal piano parts.
