Composed by Carrie Jacobs-Bond. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Classical,Folk,Romantic Period,Wedding. Score. 3 pages. Phil Beaman #814667. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.1218172).In a Foreign Land is an arrangement of the 1905 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond. The poetic text is about how everything is better in this 'foreign land' of love. The melody is simple and scalar with a bit of a folk feel. I have simplified the piano part with much of it now 2 part (single notes in each hand) with some occasional 2 note chords. For the first verse I reharmonize the melody with simple folk style chords, then for the second verse I return to the original syncopated broken chords. Simple and beautiful, it is perfect for any wedding today, whether vintage or modern.
3 page score; 1:50 minutes
I have published it in 3 different vocal ranges on this site: High - low D to high F; Medium - low B to high D; Low - low G to high B. The MP3 recording is of the Medium Voice version. Intermediate level.
This piece is also found in my book, Vintage Wedding Songs, a collection of 5 songs which is also available on this site.
