Product Description

The Bird Song is a piano solo arrangement of the 1899 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, which was originally a ballad for voice and piano. This is mostly a new composition inspired by the Jacobs-Bond piece. I took the tune's 8-bar vocal melody and changed several of the notes then put it in the Left Hand. In the Right Hand I created twittering birds. The ending section elongates the final cadence into a dozen measures of twittering and posturing, followed by a Coda in a new Time Signature of rest and twittered farewells. This makes a simple, delightful, lilting dance.
1 page score; 1:20 minutes
This piece is also found in my book, Carrie Jacobs-Bond, Popular Songs 1900-1925, a collection of 51 of her songs I have arranged for piano solo, which is also available on this site.
