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, Alfred item number 00-FXB123]. Samuel Ward's familiar tune enjoys a sumptuous feast of harmonic color 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 new scoring, with appropriate accommodations made for less experienced instrumentalists. A stunning addition to the young band repertoire! (3:00)

Composed by Katharine Lee Bates and Samuel Ward. Arranged by Homco/Crinion. Patriotic,Standards. 8 pages. Homco/Crinion #1042054. Published by Homco/Crinion (A0.1463363).

America the Beautiful is probably the most popular of American patriotic songs. The melody was composed in 1882 by Samuel A. Ward - an organist and choirmaster - as the basis for a hymn. The lyrics are actually a poem - originally titled Pike's Peak - published in 1895 by Katharine Lee Bates. The two never met. Amazing. Simply amazing and inspirational. This arrangement for Violin & Cello begins simply, softly and understated with the melody in the treble part and a close harmony by the cello in the alto/tenor range. The second verse brings the melody to the cello, while the violin soars high above with an obbligato descant. The third verse is grandiose, with the meoldy raised up an octave, accompanied by arpeggiated chordal harmonies. The extended ending decrescendos to a simple, muted finish.
