Patriotic Songs for Solo Guitar

Much like the Declaration of Independence, our patriotic songs are essentially a permanent part of the national fabric. Thematically, the songs are varied: Some of the pieces discuss key historical events; several tunes rally the martial spirit; others pay tribute to specific heroes who have sacrificed in the name of liberty. A gentle, hymn-like mood pervades some of the songs.

Emotions such as loss and longing–and virtues such as courage, loyalty, and humor–are also major themes of these wonderful testimonies of American patriotism.

Patriotic Melodies For Solo Guitar includes standard notation, tablature and a performance recorded by the author, Larry McCabe.
