"If memory serves me correctly, there is already a committee lobbying for this change in anthems." ...which has probably been doing its thing for at least half a century, since I first heard about it in 1957. The fact is, the anthem is not going to change. Historical and cultural tradition shape the choice, not our musical tastes. Most countries have sweeter anthems than ours, which is after all a bugle tune; Israel's is a good example. --David Lawrence _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
