I've been enjoying the arrangement of "The Star Spangled Banner" that's been played at the Olympics. Good to hear a re-harmonization that is logical, leads the ear to a few refreshing places, and delays a resolution or two. I'm not fond of the song (and no one asked what I'd choose for our anthem), but given that that's the one we're going to hear, I'm glad for a new version, and I wouldn't mind the idea of hearing a few more variations from time to time. I remember hearing that Stravinsky did an arrangement of this, and that it was roundly rejected. Anybody heard this? Just curious.
