My Country, ’tis of Thee – SATB & Organ

Description

for SATB and organ or orchestra
This noble and patriotic piece is a setting of the well-known tune 'America' (also known as the British National Anthem). Wilberg opens effectively with solo unison men, and the accompaniment creeps in quietly. A women's verse then follows, before full choral homophony creates an atmosphere of worship and optimism.
Orchestral material is available on hire/rental from the publisher.
