THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Lyrics Words by Francis Scott Key Music by John Stafford Smith Arranged by Jay Rouse and Camp Kirkland THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Lyrics Words by Francis Scott Key Music by John Stafford Smith Arranged by Jay Rouse and Camp Kirkland O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave? America! America! Sweet Land of Liberty! Arr. © 2002 PraiseGathering Music.

COUNT THE COST (To See That Banner Wave) Lyrics Words by Randy Vader Music by Jay Rouse Arranged by Jay Rouse The sacred song of freedom will never be deterred From our borders to the farthest land her melody is heard. A tune of matchless beauty filled with strains of victory; Each lyric penned in crimson the blood of the free. Count the cost to each one who stood tall. Count the cost to each one who gave all. Count the cost to see that banner wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Still it waves, count the cost. From battleground to state house, freedom’s plan was laid; By lives and by fortunes, by sacred honor paved. A lamp shining brightly is now handed down to us To raise beside the golden door; our legacy, our trust. Count the cost to each one who stood tall. Count the cost to each one who gave all. Count the cost to see that banner wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Still it waves. MY COUNTRY, ‘TIS OF THEE Words by Samuel F. Smith Music by Henry Carey Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrims’ pride. From every mountainside let freedom ring! Arr. © 2010 PraiseGathering Music.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Lyrics Words by Julia Ward Howe American Melody Arranged by Jay Rouse Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword, His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on! He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat, He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer Him, Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on! In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free! While God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on! His truth is marching on! His truth is marching, truth is marching, Truth is marching on, marching on! Arr. © 2002 PraiseGathering Music.

  • News Release
    News Release Springhurst’s Swietlicki is Music Teacher by Day; TV Composer by Night Dobbs Ferry, March 23, 2017--Springhurst Elementary School’s very own music impresario, George Swietlicki, has gone Hollywood. One of his recorded arrangements was recently purchased by the television show “Homeland,” airing Sunday nights at 9:00 pm on Showtime (EST), and it is now being played throughout season six as part of the lead-in to all 12 episodes. Homeland is an award-winning American crime thriller television series. In the opening credits sequence of every episode this season, you can’t miss the five- second choral rendition of “And the home of the brave,” the poignant last line of the Star Spangled Banner. But not all versions of the National Anthem’s final verse are created the same. Sung by the Nashville Children’s Choir online, Swietlicki couldn’t mistake his arrangement in four-part harmony. It is an original sound and music to your ears. “There are notes underneath and extra notes above that provide the harmony,” Swietlicki explained.” It’s very distinctive and I spent weeks figuring it out…I did my homework. To give it its full value, you have to know what notes to use and when.” Homeland purchased the rights to Swietlicki’s arrangement through his long-time publisher Bourne Music Company. The Springhurst Harmonaires have been singing The Star Spangled Banner, under Swietlicki’s direction, at Mets games since 1989. “It is probably the most famous song in America,” Swietlicki said, “and Harmonaires, past and present, still have all those magic notes in their heads.” Catch episode 10 of season 6 this Sunday night, March 26th at 9:00 pm on Showtime and don’t miss the intro! Click here to watch video of the Springhurst Harmonaires singing The National Anthem at City Field in 2013… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUIoJUOo-dk For more information, please contact: Public Information Officer, Elizabeth Hausman (914) 693-1500 x3013 .

  • Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2021-2025
    TEXAS HOMELAND SECURITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2021-2025 LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR Fellow Texans: Over the past five years, we have experienced a wide range of homeland security threats and hazards, from a global pandemic that threatens Texans’ health and economic well-being to the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and other natural disasters to the tragic mass shootings that claimed innocent lives in Sutherland Springs, Santa Fe, El Paso, and Midland-Odessa. We also recall the multi-site bombing campaign in Austin, the cybersecurity attack on over 20 local agencies, a border security crisis that overwhelmed federal capabilities, actual and threatened violence in our cities, and countless other incidents that tested the capabilities of our first responders and the resilience of our communities. In addition, Texas continues to see significant threats from international cartels, gangs, domestic terrorists, and cyber criminals. In this environment, it is essential that we actively assess and manage risks and work together as a team, with state and local governments, the private sector, and individuals, to enhance our preparedness and protect our communities. The Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2021-2025 lays out Texas’ long-term vision to prevent and respond to attacks and disasters. It will serve as a guide in building, sustaining, and employing a wide variety of homeland security capabilities. As we build upon the state’s successes in implementing our homeland security strategy, we must be prepared to make adjustments based on changes in the threat landscape. By fostering a continuous process of learning and improving, we can work together to ensure that Texas is employing the most effective and innovative tactics to keep our communities safe.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
