"My Country, ‘Tis of Thee", also known as "America", is an American patriotic song, whose lyrics were written by Samuel Francis Smith. The melody is that of the British national anthem, "God Save the Queen", although Smith encountered it by way of a German adaptation. The song served as a de facto national anthem of the United States before the adoption of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the official anthem.
If available, flugelhorns are recommended for this arrangement.
This version has an introduction with gentle improvisation for Flugelhorn I, and finishes with the same for Horn.
