Please note: Our band and orchestra music is now being collated by an automatic high-speed system. The enclosed parts are now sorted by page count, rather than score order.

PROGRAM NOTES

“America: Sweet Land of Liberty,” based on “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” uses a variety of percussion instruments. Please note that the chimes and timpani parts are completely optional. If you have a limited number of percussionists, the parts in order of highest importance are snare drum, suspended cymbal, triangle, bells, bass drum, chimes and timpani.

There should be a general feeling of crescendo in the piece from measure 5 to the end.

I hope you and your students find “America: Sweet Land of Liberty” to be a worthwhile musical experience
