Review:
Perfect for any patriotic occasion, this joyous 68-measure medley can be a choir ring or a sing-along. It features "God of Our Fathers, America, and O Beautiful for Spacious Skies." The three are nicely contrasted in textures and tonal centers (C, D and F), and meter (4/4 and 3/4). The final melody is especially “beautiful” with wide lush chords and a brief handchime descant. Ringers and audiences will love it.
