Although D. W. Cooper plugged the song briefly at a local theatre and registered mechanical rights in 1918, it appears to have had very little impact."},{"label":"Historical Note","value":["Dallin’s statue, pictured on the cover, was installed at the entry to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts on January 23, 1912, and Coolidge’s photograph was taken about that time. The statue quickly became a symbol of Boston’s civic pride as well as an iconic image in American culture. There is no textual link to the song, and the motivation for the choosing this cover image remains obscure.","There appears to have been only one printing, and there are no known recordings or piano rolls."]},{"label":"Musical Note","value":"This spelling song is a march song in duple meter, with a slightly unusual 40-bar refrain that results from the extension of the third line and the interjected spelling of “America.” The verse is conventional, with ragtime rhythms used extensively in the first two phrases. Sequence is used prominently at the start of the verse and the in the penultimate phrase of the refrain."},{"label":"Repository","value":"Sousa Archives and Center for American Music"},{"label":"Rights","value":"No Copyright - United States"},{"label":"Rights Description","value":"This item is in the public domain."},{"label":"Back Cover Description","value":"Advertisement and samples for “When the Sun Sets in Galway” (© 1915 08 02) and “I’m Going Back to the Girl I Love” (© 1915 12 07)."},{"label":"Local Identifier","value":"2014_12996_048"},{"label":"Collection Title","value":"James Edward Myers World War I Sheet Music Collection"}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/ee750f60-c563-0134-2373-0050569601ca-d/full/!256,256/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/ee750f60-c563-0134-2373-0050569601ca-d","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"service":[{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://images.digital.library.illinois.edu/iiif/2/ee750f60-c563-0134-2373-0050569601ca-d","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}],"logo":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/assets/Illinois-Logo-Reversed-Orange-RGB-100-4dc138603db54952c91732afd189efd828ba543796a2ab0f9a81afcf2b308b27.png","related":{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/ecc08840-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-9","format":"text/html"},"seeAlso":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/ecc08840-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-9.json","format":"application/json"},{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/ecc08840-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-9.atom","format":"application/atom+xml"}],"viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"paged","navDate":"1917-01-01T06:00:00Z","license":"https://rightsstatements.org/page/NoC-US/1.0/","attribution":"This item is in the public domain.","within":{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/collections/692ae4c0-c09b-0134-2371-0050569601ca-6/iiif","format":"application/json"},"sequences":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/ecc08840-c556-0134-2373-0050569601ca-9/sequence/page","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Pages","viewingHint":"paged","canvases":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.illinois.edu/items/f15841f0-c563-0134-2373-0050569601ca-2/canvas/canvas1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"A-M-E-R-I-C-A - Cover","height":8155,"width":6207,"metadata":[{"label":"Title","value":"A-M-E-R-I-C-A - Cover"},{"label":"Composer","value":["Greene, May","Lang, Billy"]},{"label":"Lyricist","value":["Greene, May","Lang, Billy"]},{"label":"Publisher","value":"D.
