America by Emerson Lake And Palmer
America
This is the instrumental version that Keith Emerson arranged initially for the
Nice and later (like Rondo),played with Emerson, Lake and Palmer. It contains
quotations from Dvorak’s New World Symphony and like the original is in an odd
triplet rhythm on the 1st 2 beats, (1&&, 2&&, 3&,4,) Not all of the Bernstein song
is used, but I have included the lyrics for illustration
