This stirring patriotic final song from the musical "Frankly Ben Franklin, A Musical Memoir," is especially fitting for the 250th Anniversary of the United States in 2026. After 250 years, one founding voice still rings true. As Benjamin Franklin writes his memoirs, he realizes perhaps his greatest accomplishment is helping to create the United States of America. At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got - a republic or a monarchy?" Franklin famously replied, "A republic - IF YOU CAN KEEP IT." Available for SATB and Piano or SATB and Orchestra (8 instruments) or Orchestra Performance .mp3
