Bold new arrangement of What Child is This is a wonderful crowd pleaser for Christmas.

Teresa Cobarrubia Yoder’s  dynamic and fresh orchestra arrangement of What Child is This features a mysterious opening that builds in intensity with the melody.  It is extraordinarily well crafted for intermediate and above levels so that each instrument has an opportunity to play the melody.

God Bless the U.S.A. (also known as Proud to Be an American) is an American patriotic song written and recorded by American country music artist Lee Greenwood, and is considered to be his signature song. The first album it appears on is 1984's You've Got a Good Love Comin'. It reached No. 7 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart when originally released in the spring of 1984, and was played at the 1984 Republican National Convention with President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan in attendance, but the song gained greater prominence during the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991, as a way of boosting morale, and was re-included on his 1992 album American Patriot as a result of its newfound popularity.

The popularity of the song rose sharply after the September 11 attacks and during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and the song was re-released as a single, re-entering the country music charts at No. 16 and peaking at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in 2001. The song was also re-recorded in 2003 and released as God Bless the U.S.A. 2003. Greenwood also wrote a Canadian version of this song called God Bless You Canada. The song has sold over a million copies in the United States by July 2015.

This version is arranged in D concert for String Orchestra / Quartet plus Optional Drum Set at the Intermediate Level.

Performance time: approx. 3 minutes.
