An American Fanfare 號曲

在這首動感十足的音樂會開場曲中，裡克-柯比將 "America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)"（《美國（我的祖國，屬於你）》）通常類似讚美詩的曲調融入了快速而充滿活力的大合唱中。實際的旋律只完整地出現了一次，而且對原曲的旋律和和聲元素進行了許多自由發揮。令人歎為觀止！持續時間1分 40秒（4級）

原文簡介:
In this dynamic concert opener, Rick Kirby incorporates the normally hymn-like strains of “America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)” into a fast and energetic fanfare. The actual melody is stated only once in its entirety, and many liberties are taken with both melodic and harmonic elements of the original. Breathtaking! Dur: 1:40 (Grade 4)
難度: 4
