The most beautiful Amerian Anthem I have heard...

is this Stravinsky version.

This should be played more often. :)

Per Wikipedia:
"Stravinsky's unconventional major-minor seventh chord in his arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner" led to an incident with the Boston police on 15 January 1944, and he was warned that the authorities could impose a $100 fine upon any "rearrangement of the national anthem in whole or in part"."
