How Many Americans Recall Patriotic Airs
A survey of familiar American tunes notes The Star Spangled Banner as the national anthem with Key buried in Frederick Maryland and the flag at his grave. It traces America and God Save the King influences in My Country Tis of Thee originally sung in Boston, with Hale as senate chaplain. It discusses Columbia the Gem, Yankee Doodle’s origin, and Yankee Doodle’s use at Lexington. Dixie, written by Emmett for Bryant’s minstrels, became a Civil War era war song, while John Brown’s Body evolved into Battle Hymn of the Republic. Lincoln’s fondness for Dixie is cited and the piece ends noting other tunes like Lan- and the era’s cultural mix.
