The National Symphony Orchestra performs Igor Stravinsky's arrangement of the Star-Spangled Banner. • Part of Portraits of America, January 22, 2017 • Gianandrea Noseda, conductor • According to Wikipedia, Stravinsky's unconventional dominant seventh chord in his arrangement of the Star-Spangled Banner led to an incident with the Boston police on 15 January 1944, and he was warned that the authorities could impose a $100 fine upon any re-arrangement of the national anthem in whole or in part . The police, as it turned out, were wrong. The law in question merely forbade using the national anthem as dance music, as an exit march, or as a part of a medley of any kind , but the incident soon established itself as a myth, in which Stravinsky was supposedly arrested, held in custody for several nights, and photographed for police records. • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_St... • Subscribe to The Kennedy Center! http://bit.ly/2gNFrtb • #stravinsky #starspangledbanner #nationalsymphonyorchestra
