Opening with a quiet unison passage, this patriotic original expands to four-part singing as the text moves from “a thought, an idea, a word…” to a dream, the vision of freedom that lives in our land. The audience is invited to join the choir on America the Beautiful, while an optional descant builds to a climactic ending. Instrumental brass and timpani parts available. Shawnee Press.
