“The Battle Hymn of the Republic” is a ballad most people are familiar with and invokes a sense of patriotism and pride. It is fitting that this performance takes place at a celebration of America’s independence.
On the 4th of July, two powerhouses in the world of music collaborated to bring the country an epic rendition of William Steffe’s famous song “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
The West Point Band accompanied the singing talent of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The stadium stands at the United States Military Academy were filled with choir singers lending their voices to the performance.
The massive outdoor choir gave power to the hymn that swelled in volume above the stands. The precision of the West Point Band is perfect. Every note is played flawlessly.
When the chorus of “Glory, glory, hallelujah” rises, the goosebumps will appear on your arms. The horns and strings sections accompany the singers as they play the march with alarming accuracy.
What an outstanding homage to America’s founding and the freedom gained through fighting for independence! The people who attended this incredible performance must have felt their hearts swell with pride.
Individually, the West Point Band and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are outstanding musicians. Together they are a powerhouse of talent. You will never hear a better version of “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
