An in-depth analysis of how H.E.R. arranged 'America The Beautiful' for the 2021 Super Bowl.
I was blown away watching the Super Bowl this year by H.E.R. performing her reharmonizes version of America The Beautiful. This is one of my favorite patriotic tunes and she managed to pay beautiful homage to versions of the past while also creating an entirely unique and groundbreaking arrangement. She starts off nodding to Ray Charles and his classic rendition, but then busts down the door to shred and amazing guitar solo and bring the song to some VERY interesting harmonic places.
One of the things I have noticed more and more is how artists use very common melody choices to create beautiful altered tensions over the chords they are playing. It's also one of the best ways to reharmonize an existing melody.This song is a GREAT example of this- and I try to demonstrate it's many uses in the video.
