Victor C. Johnson : My Heart's in the Highlands

An optional solo opens this serene, flowing, and extremely expressive original, complemented by luscious harmonies and a rich accompaniment.

Composer: Victor C. Johnson | Country: Scotland

Carl Strommen : My Heart's in the Highlands

This simple, yet elegant melody is reminiscent of a Welsh or Scottish folk song, but it's a new, original choral work from Carl Strommen. Carl's solid choral writing will make your choir sound its very best. And the beautiful text ("My heart's in the highland above the heather blue.") evokes images of lush meadows of the British Isles. Wonderful opportunities to work on choral phrasing.

Lon Beery : My Heart's in the Highlands

Here is a new folk song whose melodic contour, harmonic structure, and symmetry with the Robert Burns text are so authentic, that it's hard to believe it's a contemporary composition. Modern day composer Lon Beery truly captures the nature of historic folk music with his setting of My Heart's in the Highlands. An optional bass part in the three-part mixed version, and an optional tenor part in the men's arrangement offer great flexibility in either voicing.

Composer: Lon Beery | Poetry By: Robert Burns | Country: Scotland

Donna Gartman Schultz : My Heart's in the Highlands

With words by Robert Burns, the melody used in this setting is an entirely new one, but one which is somewhat reminiscent of an old Scottish air. With Violin and Piano.
