the star spangled banner song by mormon tabernacle choir

I love a rousing patriotic hymn played nice and loud on the organ, but I know not everyone does.

The first musical edition was published by Benjamin Carr of Baltimore as 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' It became the official United States national anthem in 1931.If you attend an LDS ward in the United States today your sacrament meeting will almost certainly begin and end with a patriotic hymn. The words became attached to the tune of an existing song, 'To Anacreon in Heaven,' the music of which is attributed to an English composer, John Stafford Smith (born 1750). The words are the poem 'Defense of Fort McHenry' by Francis Scott Key written after watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814.
