As an entertainment pianist I'm often asked for "occasion" pieces. This has all 4 service branches' songs and 3 fairly good arrangements of Sousa marches, plus a few other recognizable songs, but about half is stuff I never heard of that will just puzzle an audience. Not expensive, though, so you'll have some money left over to buy "God Bless America" and other expected pieces separately...or another book.
i did not know what this was when i bought it. Did not know what "E-Z Play" meant. It means there are giant notes for the melody, and they are labelled with the note name. There are chords above like for guitar. It is for keyboards, with settings for rhythm and style. I play acoustic piano at intermediate level, so was perplexed at first how i was supposed to play this. But i am playing the melody and then the chord with my left hand, so it is like a "fake" book, sort of. Though i would have liked to have fewer page turns, i find it works pretty well. It has the songs for the US Army, Navy, etc. But some of the verses i had never heard before. The Star Spangled Banner is absent, but there are other patriotic and quasi-patriotic songs. I like it. It is good to have in your bag of tricks for an off-the-cuff playing
No complaints here and it a good reference book for our Children’s Choir ministry! We would recommend this book to our family & friends. Thank you again for everything!
It could include the US Coast Guard Anthem and God Bless America. But outside of that it had everything I need for the Armed Force Tribute for Veterans Day.
