Product Description

Originally published in 1921, The Call of Home is a song written about the warmth of family and the strength it gives during times of strife with text by Abbie Farwell Brown and the original arangement by Paul Ambrose. The original text written reads:
The path is hard, your feet must travel little one
The way is long and weary is the load
The clouds are black that threaten soon to hide the sun
A chilling fear is lurking by the road
But gather close the cloak your mother wove for you
To keep you safe in danger and in storm
Their very heart have made a shield of love for you
Strong as her faith, and like her courage warm.
The cheery house that craddled you is far away
The pretty toy that pleased you as a child
The inn you hope to enter at the close of day
Is hidden still beyond the forest wild
But wrap you warm in love that was the whole of her
And walk in joy, as she would have you do
The thread of life she spun from out the soul of her
Draws you to her again a magic clue
The lyrics and voicings have been modified to speak of kin rather than a singular mother figure. Appropriate for early-intermediate choirs. Arranged for three-part mixed-voice choir and piano.
