Cherokee America the Beautiful

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of America, James E. Green has added this exciting new piece to his Native American Choral Series. Richard A. Nichols' setting of one of our most beloved patriotic hymns is adapted for the Cherokee Language, with flute and percussion accompaniment, giving a new life to an already amazing concert arrangement. The accompaniment is compelling and the harmonic surprises are deeply satisfying. Instead of offering us just another arrangement to sing at patriotic events, this rendition sets itself a part from the rest. Powerful and inspiring, uniting us all! With extensive performance and pronunciation notes, you can easily achieve an authentic performance in Cherokee. Easy to medium difficulty.
