America (My Country 'Tis of Thee)

Composed for the memorial service for former first lady, Rosalynn Carter, this new setting of "America" is poignant, powerful, and moving. Using lesser-known verses in addition to "My country 'tis of thee...," this arrangement strikes a different chord than most traditional arrangements - finding a dramatic balance between patriotism, reverence, and heart-felt devotion to homeland. Written for piano, and optional violin and cello accompaniment, this piece is available in Unison, SA, SSA, TTB, SAB, and SATB voicings. (Any combination of voicings may be performed together.)
