patriotic tunes
Flag-waving music pieces
Patriotic tunes are songs that celebrate or express devotion to one's country—national anthems, military marches, folk songs about homeland.
The phrase often appears in contexts of public ceremony or collective sentiment: The band played patriotic tunes at the Fourth of July parade.
The modifier patriotic distinguishes these from other music, implying stirring melodies meant to evoke national pride.
