The Star-Spangled Banner (for wind ensemble)

Evan Van Doren’s arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner bursts with color and emotion—fresh, dramatic, and unapologetically patriotic. It honors tradition while reimagining America’s anthem with sweeping lines, bold dynamic contrasts, and a cinematic sense of pride that will move both performers and audiences alike.

Commissioned by Trae Blanco and the Butler University Wind Ensemble, from Indianapolis, Indiana, for performance at the Bands of America Grand National Finals Opening Ceremony.
