SSB is unsingable by the average person. The range of this piece is actually fit for some professional singers, and I think I am being generous with that.
Instead of promoting SSB, have always advocated a change of the national anthem to "America the Beautiful", a simpler yet just as eloquent hymn as the SSB.
This is another one of these fabricated patriotism nonsense. I can't believe MENC bought into this crap. Who was grabbing music educators by the shorthairs?
I can't sing it and won't sing it. I'd do better teaching a pig to sing.
