The Star Spangled Banner and the American Flag. Both are key components of patriotic Americans and both are glorified in these short films showing performances of the Star Spangled banner and a moving story about our Flag. A bit of history on the Star Spangled Banner. ?The Star-Spangled Banner? is the national anthem of the United States of America, with lyrics written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. Key, a 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, wrote them as a poem after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, by British ships in Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. The song is to the tune of ?To Anacreon in Heaven,? a popular British drinking song. The song became well-known as an American patriotic song. With a range of one and a half octaves, it is known for being notoriously difficult to sing. It was recognized for official use by the United States Navy (1889) and the White House (1916), and was made the national anthem by a Congressional resolution on 3 March 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 USC 301). Although the song has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today. The four films in this collection are highlighted below - one below each verse in the Star Spangled Banner.
