🎹 Piano Cover by Irl Sinatra - America The Beautiful by Katharine Lee Bates from 1904

America The Beautiful (1904). Great short version of how it was born. The lyrics we know are a poem by Katharine Lee Bates first published in 1895. The music was composed by Church Musician Samuel A. Ward in 1882. Bates lyrics were paired with Ward's music in 1904, a year after Ward died. The two of them never met or corresponded. ♪ If you enjoyed the video please Like & Subscribe for more... ♪ Follow on Instagram @IrlSinatra #AmericaTheBeautiful #KatharineLeeBates #SamuelAWard
