Kevin McChesney gives this familiar tune a truly triumphant character. An upbeat, toe-tapping tempo and dotted rhythms keep the music moving along and bright major keys lend a jovial feel to the score. A few chimes in the midsection offer a change in timbre. The keyboard part includes some challenging but repetitive rhythms. Although the keyboard is optional, its use will greatly enhance the arrangement! 64 measures. Keys: E Major and F Major
