Composed by Stephen Foster. Arranged by Peggy Carter. Folk,Traditional. Octavo. 10 pages. Peggy Carter #5889603. Published by Peggy Carter (A0.945405).This old song sounds NEW when it uses unexpected chord changes. It starts on a D chord, and ends on a D chord, but its what happens in between that makes this arrangement interesting. The hammer dulcimer accompaniment adds its own unique sound quality. The ranges are within the reach of an upper-level elementary choir through high school choral groups. As a piece of Americana this is a program piece appropriate for general audiences.
(The hammer dulcimer was a popular instrument in 19th Century America, as evidenced by advertisements seen in the Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward catalogues, and by the publication of instruction books throughout the 1800s and early 1900s. In fact, the instrument enjoyed a small burst of widespread acclaim due to its being a favorite of Henry Ford, and its inclusion in "Henry Ford's Old Fashioned Dance Orchestra".)
