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"."

thanks, including the quote about the boston police's warning of a different arrangement - not that one would notice.

'Happy Birthday' by Stravinsky.
Believe this was written for Moneux's 80th Birthday as a Greeting Prelude.
Thanks for posting that! I've never heard it before.
Was anybody here at the One O'clock Lab Band concert in Sherman, TX back in 2010? Denis DiBlasio improvised an awesome flute/scat version of Happy Birthday in tribute to the great Maynard Ferguson. I hope someone has a recording of it.
:)
