America the Beautiful

This lovely patriotic ballad setting, first conceived in the aftermath of the events of 9-11, is from Joel Raney's exciting series of piano/organ duets. With SATB choir entering at the conclusion of the prelude for an optional choral introit, the combination of America, the Beautiful with Chopin's gorgeous piano etude in E Major, Opus 10, No. 3 creates an emotionally powerful presentation. Both keyboard parts and a reproducible page with choral part are included.
