The duet begins in the traditional manner, albeit changing the original 9/8 meter to 3/4. A 4/4 transition into the second verse introduces a more modern sound with some syncopation, elements of ragtime, swing, jazz, and light rock. Appropriate for vocal instruction, festivals, recitals, concerts, and public events. Graded Upper Intermediate because of vocal rhythms, but the piano part is more on the intermediate level. Performance Time: 3:53. One of Stephen Foster’s most-beloved songs, some claim “Beautiful Dreamer†to be the last of his compositions, written just a few days before his death. Featured in films and television throughout the years.
