Home on the Range
The melody is in unison and 2-part, and the graceful piano line keeps the motion moving forward.
2-part treble voices, piano
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.
