Ward, arranged for expandable flute choir by Ricky Lombardo. This piece includes two different versions with varying styles, formats, and difficulties. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLombardo writes about this piece, 'America the Beautiful' is one of the most beautiful patriotic songs ever written and may be considered our nation's favorite song. The melody is simple but yet so majestic. It is one of those songs that exuberates pride for our country. I have included two different versions of the song in this publication. Version 1 is the shortest of the two arrangements. It is more traditional in style and straight forward. Version 2 on the other hand is almost twice as long and totally different. This arrangement is more majestic in style, has an introduction, and incorporates interludes between the melody. Each arrangement is not technically difficult and the rhythms are basic. I hope you will find a great deal of pleasure and use for both versions of this arrangement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersion 1 - Performance Time: 2:45 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersion 2 - Performance Time: 5:15 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lombardo Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46964817723686,"sku":"FCE013","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/files\/FCE013.jpg?v=1737562033","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/ward-sa-america-the-beautiful","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
