America, the Beautiful (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ward, Samuel Augustus - Dragon & Wagner

The rich musical legacy that Carmen Dragon left the world usually includes his solid reputation as a consummate orchestrator. He is best remembered for the iconic arrangement of "America, the Beautiful" for both symphony orchestra and symphonic band (grade 4 original setting). Samuel Ward's familiar tune enjoys a sumptuous feast of harmonic colour and instrumental nuance, and is now available in an edition for younger players and their audiences to enjoy. All of the majestic beauty and awesome grandeur of Dragon's original is preserved in this scoring, with appropriate accommodations made for less experienced instrumentalists. A stunning addition to the young band repertoire!Duration: 3:15
