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

“Home on the Range” is arranged here for full symphony orchestra, with and option to perform it as an audience sing-along. 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 2022, 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. There are parts for:

the sing-along vocal part 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B flat, 2 bassoons optional piccolo, English horn, bass clarinet, contrabassoon 4 horns in F, 3 trumpets in C, 2 trombones, bass trombone, tuba Timpani, 2 percussionists (glockenspiel, triangle, suspended cymbal), harp violin I, violin II, viola, cello, double bass

I mean, it’s a good tune!

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