Music of “America” is that of the British National Anthem. Music of “Star-Spangled Banner” is derived from old foreign drinking songs, difficult to sing; in addition the sentiments are boastful and bloodthirsty. Words of “Lift Every Voice” are more elevated in spirit. I do not hesitate to say my brother’s music is better than either of these imported songs.
