“My Country, Tis of Thee”

As our celebration of Independence Day continues, I offer this version of “My Country, Tis of Thee” by the Global Community Orchestra and The Salute to Valor Festival Chorus.

The lyrics of the song, also known as “America,” were written by Massachusetts minister, journalist, and author Samuel Francis Smith (based upon the melody of “God Save the Queen”).

From the Salute to Valor Concert at the Blaisdell Concert Hall, Honolulu, Hawaii, 3 July 2011.
