AMERICAN TRILOGY - Elvis - Alto Sax - Free score
The American Trilogy is a collection of three songs that were arranged and recorded by Elvis Presley in 1971. The three songs are "Dixie," "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and "All My Trials." The first song, "Dixie," is a traditional Southern folk song that was popular in the Confederate States during the American Civil War. It is often associated with the Confederacy and has been used as a symbol of Southern heritage. The second song, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," is a patriotic hymn that was written by Julia Ward Howe during the Civil War. It became a popular anthem for the Union Army and is still sung today as a symbol of American patriotism. The third song, "All My Trials," is a traditional Jamaican folk song that was popularized in the United States during the folk music revival of the 1960s. It is a song of hope and redemption, with lyrics that encourage listeners to keep faith in difficult times. Elvis Presley's arrangement of these three songs became known as the American Trilogy, and it is often seen as a reflection of the complexities of American history and identity. The Trilogy has been covered by many other artists over the years and remains a popular piece of American music. A fun fact about the American Trilogy is that Elvis Presley's version was not originally intended to be a medley of three songs. During a recording session in 1971, Elvis spontaneously began singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" after finishing a take of "Dixie." His backup singers and band quickly joined in, and the impromptu performance was captured on tape. Producer Felton Jarvis recognized the potential of the combination and worked with Presley to create a fully arranged medley that included "All My Trials" as well. The resulting American Trilogy became one of Elvis's signature songs and a fan favorite. In addition to Elvis Presley's version, the American Trilogy has been covered by a wide range of artists, including Willie Nelson, Joan Baez, and Norah Jones. The medley has also been adapted for use in various contexts, such as sporting events and political rallies. In 2002, the Library of Congress added Elvis Presley's version of the American Trilogy to the National Recording Registry, which recognizes recordings that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The Trilogy is still widely recognized as one of Elvis's greatest performances and a powerful representation of American culture and history.
