★ A Bandworld Top 100 Selection! ★
2021
America the Beautiful was originally written in the late 1800's and has been a perennial favorite among performing musicians everywhere. This arrangement by C. Douglas Ballard pays tribute to our great nation as well as serving as a dedication to his grandfather, PFC Edmund Leo Bahr. As Ballard states, "I was always enamored of PFC Edmund Leo Bahr, US Army 836th AVN Engineers - Pacific Theater, WWII. He proudly served his country and was truly a part of 'The Greatest Generation.' This piece is a combination of two of the things that my grandfather embodied: an undying patriotism for the United States of America and a deep love of all music." This arrangement also features a narration to accompany the work as it tells a story of America's heritage through music. Be sure to check out this American Patriotic selection for your concert this season!
