Purple Mountain Majesty is an arrangement of Samuel Augustus Ward's beloved patriotic anthem America the Beautiful. While the band arrangement by Carmen Dragon remains a classic in its own right this setting is designed to provide younger bands with a more technically accessible yet still harmonically interesting version. The woodwind exposures surrounding the original melodic material are intended to place the piece in a more pastoral environment hence the title.Purple Mountain Majesty is an arrangement of Samuel Augustus Ward's beloved patriotic anthem America the Beautiful.

Succeeding with the Masters-Book 4 consists of pivotal Intermediate level repertoire that is essential for the student to study and to apply the knowledge and experience they have mastered from the previous levels.

The series is carefully levelled from elementary through advanced repertoire. These pieces are true crowd pleasers and will showcase students' technical and musical abilities. Each level covers the gamut of your repertoire needs from works that showcase power and bravura to pieces that develop a students' sense of control and finesse. Having a wide selection of works with pedagogically-correct levelling will help make your repertoire selections easier and your students'performances more successful. Each book includes access to online recordings of all the corresponding works to guide students in their interpretation. The editing in the scores reflects these performances.
