 America the Beautiful - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"America the Beautiful" is an American patriotic song which rivals "The Star-Spangled Banner", the national anthem of the United States, in popularity.
Popularity of the song soared following the September 11, 2001 attacks; at some sporting events it was sung in addition to the traditional singing of the national anthem.
Miss Bates was more fortunate, as the song's popularity was well-established by her death in 1929.

America the Beautiful as sung by Elvis Presley.
Analyzing the lyrics of "America the Beautiful" and the story of Katharine Lee Bates's unusual life, Lynn Sherr opens a window onto the shifting world of late 19th century America.
"America the Beautiful" has been called a hymn, a prayer, even the "national heartbeat set to music." Numerous proposals and half a dozen bills in Congress have tried to replace our national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," with this more lyrical, less militaristic song.

 History of Patriotic Songs
Unfortunately, he never got to hear his melody used for "America, the Beautiful." The words and melody were first joined in November of 1904, and Samuel died on September 28, 1903.
Berlin made so much money from the song that, in 1940, he started the "God Bless America Fund" and donated all the royalties (payments to the composer) from the song to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America.

 Lyrics and Music
The lyrics to this beautiful song were written by Katharine Lee Bates (1859-1929) an instructor at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, after an inspiring trip to the top of Pikes Peak, Colorado, in 1893.
For example, in 1926 the National Federation of Music Clubs held a contest to put the poem to new, reportedly "less somber," music, but no other entry was determined to be more acceptable.
Bates never indicated publicly which music she liked best, but it now appears likely that America the Beautiful will forever be associated with "Materna."
