You can purchase individual copies for a lower price at PersonagePress.com.This unforgettable arrangement of the patriotic song America the Beautiful utilizes a solo cellist who represents a needle and thread sewing a quilt, stitching the rows through the song itself. In the second verse, the choir abandons the melody altogether (yet unnoticeably) to vocally depict alabaster cities gleam[ing]. It is a short yet deeply impactful arrangement that lends true artistry and heart to the act of musical patriotism. The arranger has modeled the cello part after a Bach cello suite, making it accessible to any seasoned cellist.
