This Land Is Your Land

Music by Woody Guthrie

"This Land Is Your Land" is one of the United States' most famous folk songs. Its lyrics were written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie in 1940, based on an existing melody, a Carter Family tune called "When the World's on Fire", in critical response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." When Guthrie was tired of hearing Kate Smith sing "God Bless America" on the radio in the late 1930s, he sarcastically called his song "God Blessed America for Me" before renaming it "This Land Is Your Land." In 2002, "This Land Is Your Land" was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry

Release Date: 1944

Available: SATB, SAB, SSA, SA.

Arranger: Jack E. Platt

Blake Morgan : This Land Is Your Land

You have never heard an arrangement of This Land Is Your Land quite like this one. The arranger, Blake Morgan, said: I felt it was fitting to illuminate one of Guthrie's original verses, placed at the heart of this new rendition for the Jason Max Ferdinand Singers. We all have unique stories of what this land means for us, but like the songwriter himself, I believe it was made - and still can be made -- for you and me. The double-choir setting is accompanied by piano, percussion, and bass. This will be an audience favorite.
