Description

The original arrangement of this work was commissioned by Salonnières as part of their album Home: Sacred American Songs. Lyricist Joseph Swain was English, but the American tune was sufficient to qualify it for the album!

Many types of dulcimers are found around the world, but I chose to use musical ideas from the Appalachian dulcimer to emphasize the song’s American roots: a strong use of drone, a pizzicato passage mimicking plucked dulcimer strings, and several fiddle-esque melodies in the string part.

Piano accompaniment link for violin players is available on Jennie’s YouTube channel.
