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.
