Review:
Expansive sounds contrast with percussive malleted passages and a gentle handchime setting of the tune MATERNA ("America, the Beautiful") to paint a musical picture of the beauty of the American landscape. Optional percussion (printed in the handbell score) enhances the musical presentation. Scored for 2-5 octaves, this piece is appropriate for concert, festival, or worship service use. 89 measures. Key of G Major.
