Performance Notes

The two most important aspects of performing "America the Beautiful" are the fact that it is a patriotic piece honoring the United States, and the fact that everyone in the audience will know the piece well. It is always important to perform patriotic music to the best of an ensemble's ability, especially when the audience know what the piece should sound like and can be more critical of how it is performed.
