Product Description

"America the Beautiful" is probably the most popular of American patriotic songs. The melody was composed in 1882 by Samuel A. Ward - an organist and choirmaster - as the basis for a hymn. The lyrics are actually a poem - originally titled Pike's Peak - published in 1895 by Katharine Lee Bates. The two never met. Amazing. Simply amazing and inspirational. This arrangement for Violin & Cello begins simply, softly and understated with the melody in the treble part and a close harmony by the cello in the alto/tenor range. The second verse brings the melody to the cello, while the violin soars high above with an obbligato descant. The third verse is grandiose, with the meoldy raised up an octave, accompanied by arpeggiated chordal harmonies. The extended ending decrescendos to a simple, muted finish.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
