Life's Garden is an arrangement of the 1914 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond.  I take this original melody and lyrics and put them to an entirely new setting of music.  The piece grows, starting with a single note unaccompanied melody and each line adds more depth and texture as the piece continues to build to the end with a dramatic key change on the last phrase.  The poetic Garden of Life is where all of the desirable characteristics of an ideal person (and love) grows; like sympathy, devotion, etc.  This is a timeless art song that is perfect for any wedding today, whether vintage or modern.     
4 page score; 1:40 minutes
I have published it in 3 different vocal ranges on this site:  High - low E to high G#; Medium - low Bb to high D; Low - low G to high B.   The MP3 recording is of the Medium Voice version.  Vocal part is Intermediate level, while Piano part is Advanced 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.

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.

The Hand of You is an arrangement of the 1920 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond.  The lyrics are a tender love story about how throughout our relationship everything is fine as long as I can touch the hand of you.  In order to emphasize this simple and powerful emotion, for the first verse I simplified the original ballad's thick chords into a more shaped and expressive two part writing, just single notes in each hand; then for the second verse I did a reharmonization of the melody, adding some simple harmony and octaves for the climax; then back to two part for a slower, softer ending.   I also wrote a new slow introductory section with my own lyrics and melody that is based on what follows.  An incredibly beautiful piece, this is perfect for any wedding today, whether vintage or modern.

I Love You Truly is based on the 1906 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond; a song which was the #1 wedding song for over 50 years.  I have created an arrangement with 4 variations with each variation getting further from the original theme and each progressing further into jazz.  Variation I - I utilize rich chords of the ballads of that period while keeping the sung melody close to the original.  Variation II - I rhythmically augment the melody, simplify the texture, and add chromatic passing tones and progressions.  Variation III - I set this in stride jazz with syncopated riffing in the melody.  Variation IV - I make this one a slower, bolder jazz with various triplet patterns on fragments of melody and a strong jazz chord progression based on fifths.  This is a gentle jazzy update to the most popular wedding song of all time; perfect for any wedding today, whether vintage or modern.

Walking In Her Garden is an arrangement of the 1904 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond.  The text compares his lover to the beautiful flowers.  Then she starts talking to the flowers, asking them about her lover.  It concludes with the famous he loves me...he loves me not.... as she plucks the petals from the daisy.  My arrangement adds quite a bit of drama to the piece.  I have converted the main theme into an oom-pah-pah waltz and greatly increased the tempo to a brisk concert waltz for the first two verses.  The B theme, where she talks to the flowers, resorts to a slower waltz ballad similar to the original.  There is then a brief recapitulation of the oom-pah-pah theme building up to the suspenseful climax.   I created a lento ending as the answers to her questions slowly unfold.   This is a great concert piece full of passion and energy that can be dramatized.  It is also perfect for any wedding today, whether vintage or modern.
