George Frederick Root /arr. Timothy J. Isham - Trees and Steel Music
Rally Round the Flag
Publisher Desc.
Composed by George Frederick Root during the Civil War, the Battle Cry of
Freedom expressed pro-Union and anti-slavery sentiments and was a popular
morale builder among Union Troops. This arrangement opens with images of
marching troops and soldiers voices singing, progressing into a
military-style march. After a more introspective moment at m. 46 (with
optional solo parts), the tune grows into its bombastic conclusion.
