America, the Beautiful, SSA with optional descant

         This arrangement came about from the request of my sisters.  Each voice has a featured verse in an appropriate key.  We have been requested to sing this piece more often than anything else in our repertoire.  The optional descant is wonderful when more voices are singing.
          My daughters and I sang this for a special memorial service just after the World Trade Towers came down on 9/11/2001.  Singing the line "Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears" will never be the same for me again.  I can barely sing through the tears during that verse.
