こんばんは。ミヤです。
さぁ、昨日本州はもうすぐ梅雨入りが発表されましたね・・・。
私が住む東海地方も今週後半には梅雨入りかも？
雨の時期、外に出るのが億劫になりますが、ぜひ音楽を聴いて楽しく過ごしましょう！
今日はそんな時期に楽しめる一曲を紹介します！
歌詞なし 星条旗
スーザ作曲の『星条旗よ、永遠なれ』（The Star and Strips Forever）という曲です。
国内では、歌詞無しの楽曲が有名ですが、実は、歌詞もついていて、こちらもまたカッコいいですよ・・・。
歌詞あり 星条旗
ちなみに、歌詞はこちら・・・
Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and hope.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.
Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and hope.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.
Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.

最近は、編曲のアレンジも多く、日本でも吹奏楽で演奏されている事もあるかと思います。
しかし、最近の事情により、吹奏楽を含め多くのコンサートが中止になり、プロの方はもちろんですが、部活に入っている学生の方、アマチュアの楽団に入っている皆様も本当に辛い気持ちかと思います。
早くこのコロナウイルスが収束して、みんなで演奏会ができる事、そして、多くの演奏会関係者がどの様な障壁もなく、気持ちがよく演奏ができる日が来る事を願います・・・。
最後はこんな暗い話になってしまいましたが。
ぜひこのブログを読んでくれると嬉しいです！
