Product Description
America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee) uses lyrics written by Samuel Francis Smith to the tune of the United Kingdom's national anthem, God Save the Queen. It was once the de facto national anthem of the U.S.A. before The Star-Spangled Banner was adopted. This arrangement adds to the fanfare and gallantry of the tune with many flourishes and ornaments. The second verse features a Charles Ives-like variation with a rhythmically augmented melody soaring over a three-part canon below. It is bound to give the audience a patriotic swelling in their chests!
