BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC: One of America's greatest songs gets a modern makeover with this jazzy piano version.

This royalty free public domain music is excellent an array of multimedia projects, including historical documentaries, Black History themes, American political conventions, Fourth of July broadcasts, and educational videos.
POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE: Standard public domain music for high school and college graduations, this tune is taken from a series of marches by English composer Sir Edward Elgar.

Producers will find it invaluable for an extensive array of patriotic music and historical production themes.
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME: A jazzy piano warms up this instantly recognizable classic. Written way back in 1908, "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" has long stood as the anthem for America's favorite pastime, and is traditionally sung during the seventh inning stretch at professional baseball games.

MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE: While the lyrics for this patriotic public domain music standard were written in 1831 by Samuel Francis Smith, the melody is that of the British national anthem. It is that tune which is provided here in a beautifully produced, royalty free piano version. Utility for the song includes both American subjects and British themes. A versatile drama music standard for any production library.
SWING LOW SWEET CHARIOT: A deeply moving piano variation on the classic Negro spiritual, composed by Wallace Willis in the nineteenth century. Adopted by the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, the song was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2002. This public domain music provides an emotional addition to Black American history themes, historical documentaries, church presentations, and much more.

GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY: A jazzy piano adaptation of the George M. Cohan tune, named one of the most important American songs of the twentieth century by National Public Radio.
