Unless an anthem is made accessible, and its spirit renewed for each generation, I believe it risks losing its ability to resonate with succeeding generations. I believe that, if we could ask Francis Scott Key his opinion he would agree that as long as his words and intent were conveyed in the spirit he felt, himself, hed be alright with the musical style being updated to the particular tastes of the time. I found this version/interpretation to be respectful and heartfelt. I also felt that it was more in tune with Keys wartime observation than an operatic style so often used during sporting events. I like this version a lot, especially since it conveys the grit and emotionalism felt by young soldiers facing mortality.
