A stately fanfare in the upper brass and woodwinds serves as an introduction to this fresh and easy treatment of America. After the main theme appears, a transition sets up a key change from B-flat to E-flat and builds to a climax punctuated by a trumpet and snare drum tag. An excellent patriotic salute! (2:15).
