For schools, community choruses, churches, and any group that is looking for a fresh take on a patriotic favorite, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.” The piece begins with a fairly conventional verse of the original, then breaks into a quick tempo in which the lower parts sing a driving, rhythmic pattern as the sopranos soar above on a new melody but using fragments of the original text.
