Comment
  • Schroeder may have written and published this simple song, his only known composition, as a general expression of support for the war; or he may have made it for a recital given by himself or his students. In any case, it left no traces other than the publication itself.
  • Theodore Schroeder
  • 295 Huntington Avenue.
Historical Note
  • This song receives no mention in newspapers or journals, and no recordings, piano rolls, performances, or advertisements have been found.
  • Schroeder maintained a large and active voice studio in Boston at 295 Huntington Avenue, and his pupils gave frequent recitals.
Musical Note
A simple march song (“strict march time”), largely diatonic, this has an unusual form, with a verse of twenty-four bars and no refrain. It makes effective use of fanfare gestures in both melody and accompaniment.

Lyrics
  • [verse 1] All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! U. S. A. / The land of our birth, The Land of the Free; / Now march we forward, march we onward, hearts brave and true, / Our Stars and Stripes now float on high for Peace and Liberty; / We stand as one man for our Flag, The Red, White and Blue; / So sing aloud o'er land and sea, All Hail! The U. S. A.
  • [verse 2] All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! U. S. A. / Then raise up our banner where'er it may call; / Now blow the bugle, beat the drum, march on to Victory, / Our loyal hearts are firm and strong, we trust in God for all; / We know that Right must conquer Might, Thro' all Eternity; / So sing aloud o'er land and sea, All Hail! The U. S. A.
