Home on the Range – for string orchestra (optional sing-along)

“Home on the Range” is arranged here for string orchestra. This can also be played as a string quintet with one player on each part. There is a short intro, 4 verses and choruses, and a short coda. Each verse and chorus is slightly different, like a series of variations.

This arrangement was originally created for the Kansas City Symphony’s Symphony in the Flint Hills event in 2021, an annual outdoor concert which traditionally ends with a crowd singing along to this, the state song of Kansas. The key is a friendly E flat, and the text is provided on the second page of the score.

I mean, it’s a good tune!

I print to order, so sheet music may not ship immediately, but it will look really good!
