America the Beautiful - By Samuel A. Ward / arr. Robert W. Smith

A solitary timpani roll opens this sweeping work. With dignified majesty, America the Beautiful pays tribute to our great nation. In a very easy-play version, this Robert W. Smith scoring allows the patriotic anthem to be performed by the youngest or least experienced ensemble. It also serves as a quick-rehearsing title for those last-minute concert needs. Simple yet effective! (2:51)
