My Country 'Tis of Thee (America) - A Cappella quartet

"My Country, 'Tis of Thee" (also known as "America") is an American patriotic song that served as one of the national anthems of the United States before the adoption of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the official U.S. national anthem in 1931. It is often performed during the July 4th Independence Day celebrations. The melody is the same as that of the national anthem of the United Kingdom, "God Save the King" (formerly "God Save The Queen"). This original a cappella arrangement for male voices borrows from "America the Beautiful" and the "Star-Spangled Banner" (including the beautiful barbershop tag sung by Acoustix in their Stars and Stripes album). Happy Fourth of July to my American friends!

--- LYRICS
My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrim's pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring
Let music swell the breeze
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song
Let mortal tongues awake
Let all that breathe partake
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong (America)

Beautiful rendition, Julien. I was wondering, would you consider doing a version with all 4 stanzas? For those who are curious: My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrim's pride! From every mountain side, Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture fills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song. Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our father's God to, Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King!

what platform do you use to do this? i had “acapella” but it wont let me do this without an earpiece in my ear while plugged in. i tried other ways but it would not let me hear back, to do the harmonies.
