This quiet, lovely anthem to our flag was inspired by the appearance of flags all over the country in September of 2001. Every block on every street in every neighborhood was covered in red, white, and blue - and much of it still is. There's just something about the sight of Old Glory that touches, calms, and reassures. Especially in times of conflict and fear. As the song says, "When I see my flag, my country's flag, I know I'm not alone." What a comforting thought. This tune is easy enough for all of your singers to learn, even your youngest. The recording features a symphonic setting which includes a beautiful clarinet choir at the verse. If you prefer to use the tune with live piano, the part is quite playable.
