Review:
This medley is a beautiful and useful medley incorporating "My Country 'Tis of Thee", "America, the Beautiful" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" that will thrill any audience. It is scored for bells, optional chimes, and Bb trumpet but is just as effective played on handbells alone. Each melody is presented in a straightforward fashion, suitable for any patriotic event, and the full-bodied chordal resonance will be appreciated. The trumpet part is printed in the full score. "Let Freedom Ring" is 125 measures in length.
