America the Beautiful

http://www.pianoreimagined.com

Steve Siu's tribute to America with his unique version of America the Beautiful. America the Beautiful has been sung by many including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Barbara Streisand, and Willie Nelson but probably most famously by Ray Charles. It's a celebrated song about the United States of America and its beauty. It is often played on July 4th (Independence Day) as a display of patriotism. The words were written by Katharine Lee Bates and the hymm composed by Samuel Augustus Ward.

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountains majesty
Above the fruited plains

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

O beautiful..for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountains..majesty
Above the fruited plains...
America!...America!...
God shed His grace..on thee..
And crown thy good, with brotherhood
From sea...to shining sea...

America!..America!!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea...to..shining..sea!!

[PianoReImagined]

i arranged it by ear.

[BigPiePublishing]

Beautiful! A bit too much bench drama when playing with one finger at the beginning, though. I actually thought it was a joke at first. But it really is beautiful and moving.

[calimonty]

[Eisenhower1977]

that comes deep from his heart ! I touches me much more than many of the other versions. my very favorite right after frank sinatra's

[southernfratdude]

makes me feel like an American :) Such wonderful piano sounds! Brings a tear to my eye everytime I watch and listen man! WOW! :D

[MoonCandi]

This is played so heart-felt that it makes me all patriotic for America, and I'm not even American, I'm Aussie! (Well I know my profile says otherwise, but only cuz I thought saying I lived in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands sounded too cool to resist. Hehe.)

[Asylia65]
