Sorry, we couldn't find anything matching "The first performance was given on July 4, 1918, on a "Grand Patriotic Night" at Symphony Hall, Boston, by the Boston Pops orchestra, with Ralph Osborne as soloist and a male chorus directed by Stephen Townsend. Thereafter there were intermittent performances by amateur, church, or school groups at various locations. However, Ditson renewed the copyright in 1945, and the version for male voices served as theme music for "Crusade in Europe," a very early television documentary. ".
