Product Description

In a Foreign Land is an arrangement of the 1905 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond.  The poetic text is about how everything is better in this 'foreign land' of love.  The melody is simple and scalar with a bit of a folk feel.  I have simplified the piano part with much of it now 2 part (single notes in each hand) with some occasional 2 note chords.   For the first verse I reharmonize the melody with simple folk style chords, then for the second verse I return to the original syncopated broken chords.  Simple and beautiful, it is perfect for any wedding today, whether vintage or modern.  
3 page score;  1:50 minutes
I have published it in 3 different vocal ranges on this site:  High - low D to high F; Medium - low B to high D; Low - low G to high B.   The MP3 recording is of the Medium Voice version.  Intermediate level.  
This piece is also found in my book, Vintage Wedding Songs, a collection of 5 songs which is also available on this site.
