Looking at Patriotic Music

When you think about traditional patriotic music, the songs of George M. Cohan may immediately come to mind. Those rousing numbers that became the toast of Broadway in the early part of the 20th century can only be eclipsed by Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America” which he wrote while in the Army in 1918.

But let’s face it: those songs are pretty old school. At CSS Music we’re cognizant of your need for music with a rousing patriotic feel that can be conveyed strictly through a melody. The best way to hear our selection of Patriotic music is to choose “Patriotic” from the Keyword Alpha list. You’ll find a song like “The Patriot” from Super Themes Volume 33 will give you that pride to be an American with it’s inspirational melody and orchestral arrangement. But if you just need something stock that will immediately evoke patriotism, give Digital Ditties, Volume 1 a listen. You’ll find a swingin’ version “America,” “The Star Spangled Banner” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Or for a selection of all American music, audition America’s Tracks for some creative arrangements of tried and true American classics.

We pride ourselves on offering you guys a wealth of patriotic music that you’ll find just right for your next show. Whether you need a traditional arrangement of America’s time-honored tunes, a more creative approach to these songs or something that just suggests patriotism, CSS Music has you covered.
