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!!!

    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!!!

    Hi 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.

  • Yes I'am from ...

    Yes 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... ...

    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?
