brown wax cylinder performed by George J. Nevertheless, The Star Spangled Banner has been a staple of military and public events since the 19th century.The earliest recording of The Star Spangled Banner the CPDP has processed is a Columbia Phonograph Co.
The Star Spangled Banner became the official national anthem of the United States in 1931. It was written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key about his experiences in the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.The lyrics are sung to the tune of a British drinking song called "To Anacreon in Heaven" composed by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, an amateur musician's group from London. The song's four stanzas and one and a half octave range make it a challenge to perform for amateurs and professionals alike.
