About theAbout theAbout theAbout the MusicMusicMusicMusic

The Star Spangled Banner was originally a poem written on September 3, 1814 during the war of 1812. Francis Scott Key was on a rescue mission approved by the president. He was successful in

rescuing his friend but was held captive because he heard the British plans to attack Baltimore. Key was forced to watch as the battle for Baltimore raged. Some of the British gun boats attempted to sail past Fort Covington, Baltimore’s last line of defense from the sea. Fort Covington held the city and the ships were forced to retreat. Key witnessed the night battle from his position on another British vessel. The only way he could tell who was winning was by the flag flying on Fort Covington and the only way he could see it was when the fort was being fired upon. By the time the battle was over dawn had come and the “Star-Spangled” American flag proudly flew above Fort Covington announcing that the Americans had victory.

Francis Key’s poem originally titled “Defense of Fort McHenry” was put to music. The melody was an old British tune by John Stafford. As the popularity of the poem/song increased it became known as the Star-Spangled Banner. The American Navy was the first to officially recognize the song in 1889 and use it at the raising of the flag. It wasn’t until President Herbert Hoover in 1931 that the Star-Spangled became the official National Anthem of the United States
