Additional info/contents	Robert W. Smiths Können als Arrangeur für Jugendorchester ist durch viele Werke über viele Jahre hinweg weithin bekannt geworden. Robert W. Smith hat den ständigen Bedarf an einem einfachen, aber dennoch vollständigen Arrangement der amerikanischen Nationalhymne erkannt und »The Star spangled Banner« mit einer verkleinerten Besetzung und begrenzten Tonumfängen neu bearbeitet. Durch seine traditionelle Herangehensweise ist dieses Arrangement für jedes Nachwuchsorchester geeignet. Außerdem werden auch viele fortgeschrittene Orchester die Vorzüge dieser Bearbeitung für kleinere Besetzungen oder für eine kurze Probenzeit zu schätzen wissen. Sehr zu empfehlen! Robert W. Smith's skill as an orchestrator/arranger for the young musician is well documented over the years in many settings. With the constant need for an easy, yet complete setting of the American national anthem, Mr. Smith has scored 'The Star Spangled Banner' using a reduced instrumentation with limited ranges. Traditional in its approach, the arrangement is suitable for any young ensemble. In addition, more mature bands will find this a perfect arrangement to perform with limited personnel or preparation time. Highly recommended!
