A Little About This Song…

America the Beautiful is one of the most famous of American patriotic songs. The lyrics were composed by Katharine Lee Bates as a poem she wrote, Pikes Peak, first appearing in the church periodical The Congregationalist in 1895, and published in 1910 as “America The Beautiful” using the melody composed by choirmaster Samuel A. Ward.
