My Arrangement of the "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"...written by William Steffe, and Julia Ward Howe. The tune was written, around 1855, by South Carolinian William Steffe. The lyrics at that time were alternately called "Canaan's Happy Shore" or "Brothers, Will You Meet Me?" and the song was sung as a campfire spiritual. The tune spread across the United States, taking on many sets of new lyrics. Julia Ward Howe's lyrics were added to the song in about 1861, and it became "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic"...a popular anthem during the American Civil War, and is still
used today for patriotic events....etc.
The pictures are of the state of Illinois...Springfield, (state capitol), Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Oak Ridge Cemetery, (Lincoln's Tomb), Lincoln's law offices,and the Illinois State Capitol Building, ( original one, and the current one). I hope that you enjoy my musical arrangement, and the pictures! Please feel free to comment, and rate the video...thanks!!!

Hi asuwish1234...thanks very much!!! I'm glad that you liked the song!!! You don't have to be patriotic to the USA, to like this tune. I think music is such a great universal language! The Morman Tabernacle Choir sings this song...look for their video! Thanks again!!!
By ilovetrains63 [Affiliate User] 1191670166 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei am from germany and ossibly can not share the patriotism in this song, but i like it very much!
i think its one of the greatests songs ever.
ur clip is very nice and i like it that i can hear the song clearly, but i also would like to find it with singing in this quality. maybe someday i will have better luck.
Hi zchack...thanks very much!!! I've always considered this song to be of a solemn nature.
I don't necessarily place the songs to fit the pictures, as you may have noticed already...lol...but I thought this song belonged with these photos. Thanks again for the very nice comment!!!
Top marks,I have always thought that this piece should be played in this manner.Beautiful.
By zchack [Affiliate User] 1191082153 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHi MyAurora1995...thanks!!! Illinois is a great state, and I enjoyed visiting a lot of the historical places. I've heard this song played so many different ways before, but I tried to play it as a hymn, that deserves some solemn style.
By ilovetrains63 [Affiliate User] 1189529043 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYes I'am from Illinois. I was a choir director for 7 years at one of the local high schools in Springfield Illinois. But I moved closer north In Illinois about 2 years ago. I live about 2 hours away from Springfield now. I done this song a couple of times with my choir classes, it is just 1 of the most
amazing songs. Again you have picked a great theme to go with this song.
Hi MyAurora1995...thanks very much!!! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! I'm from southern California, and was on a "Road Trip" in the "Fall" of 2005 when these pictures were taken. I was visiting with friends, and relatives along the way, and doing the tourist thing too. Illinois was a state where I didn't have friends or relatives to visit...so...I had plenty of time to see the places I had not been before...like the scenes in this video. Are you from Illinois?

By ilovetrains63 [Affiliate User] 1188531672 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI was there. I saw every site you mention while I was working in Il about 5 yrs ago. It was a great thrill to see Lincoln's home and tomb. Very inspirational, just like your fantastic rendition of this glorious song. Great work!
