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.6 page score; 2:30 minutesI have published it in 3 different vocal ranges on this site: High - low D to high F#; Medium - low Bb to high D; Low - low G to high B.
