This mixed level, 1 piano, 4-hands duet arrangement of the cheerful hymn tune
HAPPY LAND is designed for a beginning student to play the PRIMO while an intermediate player (teacher, parent, friend, sibling) plays the SECONDO. All notes in the PRIMO are played singly with the hands in one position centered around middle C and then played one octave higher. The PRIMO can also be played as a solo when played as written. Lyrics are included on the PRIMO for sing-along enjoyment.
The first verse speaks about the saints singing as described in Revelation 7:9-10. This upbeat, cheerful arrangement echoes the joy that will be experienced when the prophecies of Revelation are fulfilled and sin and death are no more. What a joyous day that will be when in heaven with Jesus we will sing
"Worthy is our Savior King!" The last phrase of the song uses the word
"aye" which may be unfamiliar to many. This word from long ago simply means
"forever" or
"always."The purchase price includes a 4-page combined score with both piano parts on each page plus the alternate format with the PRIMO and SECONDO on separate pages (2 pages each). Duration 1:30.
This arrangement is one of the 10 songs included in the Easy Piano Duets collection titled
"What Heavenly Music."
