Review:      This composition is a festive patriotic classic by the composer of "The Music Man". "'America Calling' exhibits many of the typical American values found in WWII songs, two of which are the indomitable American spirit and a statement of American beliefs and inspirations. This song, like many others, boosted the morale of the country and encouraged many men to enlist in the armed services. The song reminds Americans just what they are fighting for." (comment by Megan Baronitis) Words are printed above the score for the last half of the work. This is an excellent work for a choir performing a patriotic concert or looking for a different patriotic number. Set in G Major and C Major, this title is 50 measures.
