America, the Beautiful
is written in Four-Part
Mixing Melody Style. It has four written parts, but each of the
parts may be sung as a unison piece or you may combine any two, three,
or four-parts, depending on the current voicing of your
choir.
Each melody is very fluid so the piece has
a nice legato effect. It has limited ranges which make it
apropriate for early adolescent singers, but it is also accessible for older
adolescents or adults, particularly if the choir has an over abundance of women
and just a few men.
You will access the choral score when you click the
title above. If you are interested in performing fewer parts,

ways.
