Gene Scheer - American Anthem


Anyone follow the works of Gene Scheer?  I came across this article in the NYT and started putting the pieces together.  I recalled the end of Biden's speech and this song that I couldn't quite place.  Then looked for the performance a few months ago at RBG's service.  Now I'm looking for more suggestions on how to enjoy Mr. Scheer's work.  Please offer any thoughts you have.

"He Called His Song ‘American Anthem.’ It Actually Became One.

In his inaugural address, President Biden quoted Gene Scheer’s song, a patriotic hymn championed by the opera star Denyce Graves and recorded by Norah Jones for a Ken Burns soundtrack." Link for full article follows:
