The rich
musical legacy that
Carmen Dragon left the
world usually includes
his solid reputation as a
consummate orchestrator.
He is best remembered for
the iconic arrangement of
America, the Beautiful
for both symphony
orchestra and symphonic
band [grade 4 original
setting, Alfred item
number 00-FXB123]. Samuel
Ward's familiar tune
enjoys a sumptuous feast
of harmonic color and
instrumental nuance, and
is now available in an
edition for younger
players and their
audiences to enjoy. All
of the majestic beauty
and awesome grandeur of
Dragon's original is
preserved in this new
scoring, with appropriate
accommodations made for
less experienced
instrumentalists. A
stunning addition to the
young band repertoire!
