Composed by Traditional. Arranged by John Hoesly. Contemporary,Film/TV,Folk. 19 pages. PRS&B #5359155. Published by PRS&B (A0.753644).Wayfaring Stranger- for Woodwind Quintet. Traditional American Folk Song arranged by John Hoesly. Also known as "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" and "I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger", this song probably originated in the early 19th century. It has been recorded numerous times, but most significantly appears in the 2019 film "1917" where a soldier sings this plaintive melody to his fellow comrades just before going into battle. This arrangement is divided into two sections. Section one is a very haunting scenario, very plain with insistent harmonic devices. The second section is a more elaborate version with more harmonic movement and tempo extensions to create more drama. It ends as plaintively as it begins.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
