America the Beautiful
This is a rousing, 3-5 octave arrangement of the tune MATERNA with optional handchimes, B-flat trumpets, and piano or synthesizer. The arrangement utilizes mallet rolls in the lower notes and a section of table malleting that creates a drum-like flair to complement the shakes and fanfares in the treble. The optional B-flat trumpets and synth (or organ) allow for additional performance variations. The piece also can be adapted as a keyboard duet for piano and synth/organ.
