Teaching Guide

The changing tonalities in this anthem provide wonderful material for teaching more about keys and key relationships. Each two bar phrase, rehearsed  in ascending half steps, yields an accessible set of anthem based vocalizes to reinforce memory of melodic fragments. Divided voices occur only in m. 44, m. 46, and mm. 51-54, but accurate tuning is imperative. Practice tuning each individual interval before attempting to put that interval in the context of the bar of music.
