Home on the Range
arr. Timothy C. Takach
2 part treble voices, piano

Secular


$1.00 per copy

Notes:
In this arrangement of the famous folk song, the melody stays in unison for most of the song, while the graceful piano line keeps the motion moving forward. A two-part section offers some harmony which Takach uses to paint the text wonderfully. It is a great piece for a talented group of young singers, or as a duet, with the two singers trading verses.

Text:
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars,
Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours.

Then I would not exchange my home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
