Opening of the lead melody from Amnerika, as transcribed by Jeffrey Daniel Jones.



Amnerika, bars 1-3, staves for woodwind and brass, arr. Ali N. Askin (as reproduced in Zappa the composer by Daniel Schröder). In 2024 I contacted Daniel for exchanging information. It turned out there's a setting error in the two bottom staves, the trombone F should start in bar 2 instead of bar 1, and the Tuba B should be in bar 3 instead of bar 2. I took the liberty of correcting this above and adding the instruments.



Amnerika, bars 1-2, staves for the string sections, arr. Ali N. Askin. Daniel gave me the chance to look at page 1 of Ali's arrangement in its entirety. The "Guide" serves as a piano reduction of the score.



Approximation of bar 1 and part of bar 2, Civ. Ph. III version and Ensemble Modern version (1992).
All pitches are notated as they sound, except for the CB and tuba, that are notated an octave higher.
