This a medley of two older, patriotic songs; both are public domain songs. A little bit of Columbia's history:  In the early years of our country's founding, the name was synominous with the United States of America; hense, our nation's capital - "The District of Columbia". Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean' is a United States patriotic song which was popular during the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, especially during the Civil War era.  It functioned as an unofficial national anthem in competition with "Hail, Columbia" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" until the latter's formal adoption as the national anthem of the United States in 1931.  IT'S A GRAND OLD FLAG  is more widely known; most folks sang it in elementary school.  This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
