America the Beautiful: (Arr. Joel Raney): Klavier Solo

This enticing hymn is about response - the invitation for us to respond to Jesus calling us. From the first chords played by piano and handbells, the listener can see the spacious skies and the amber waves of grain. This beautiful arrangement of the patriotic favorite includes lush harmonies and various techniques and timbres to embody the melting pot of diversity that our country was founded upon. Truly breathtaking.
