Episode 111: Ross’ Good Deed:”America the Beautiful”
“Hi Dr. Tom,
While I was browsing the web for free Brass Quintet music, I came across your arrangement for ‘America the Beautiful,’ and I thought it could use a bit of beautifying. So I typeset it with Lilypond.
Included in the zipped attachment are the pdfs for parts and score, as well as full Lilypond source.

Oh, you “thought it could use a bit of beautifying” did you, Ross!? Oh, really. Hmm. Well……..
……thanks! You rock. I really appreciate it. I’ve got lots more if you’re bored:-)
Attached as a .ZIP file to this Episode, friends, is Ross’ work. Beautiful indeed! This is an arrangement for standard Brass Quintet. I’m going to look deeper at Lilypond (check it out HERE). Seems like many of you are using it, eh? Honestly, can I become proficient quickly? I’m curious. I’m a decent Finale user.
PS- I just saw our resident digeredoo expert Jay Evans (and friends) on the “Renaissance Christmas” DVD done in Chicago. It is really wonderful. If you have loved ones asking you about your Santa list, this would be an ideal gift for a good girl or boy:
LOOK! Now you can now download The Piedmont Trombone Society’s debut album “Let’s Get Lost” (winner of the ITA’s 2004 Kai Winding Award). Click the button below for details. We thank you for your support! We will use these profits to start our 2nd album. Thanks, everybody.
