This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features original classical wind band music by the Bavarian composer Johan Simon Mayr. But this edition begins with an arrangement of the default national anthem of the United Kingdom. Most often, this tune is named “God Save the King.” In the United States, it is known as “America” or “My Country Tis of Thee.” The tune also used for the national anthems of New Zealand, Canada, and many other countries in the British Commonwealth, as well as Liechtenstein. The tune served as the national anthem for the Kingdom of Prussia from 1795 until 1918 and the imperial anthem of the Russian Empire from 1816 to 1833. The tune also serves as the royal anthem of Norway. The version that opens this edition was composed for the Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953.
