Composed by Daniel E. Kelley and Brewster M. Higley. Arranged by MissoRB. This edition: pdf. Folk, Historic, Standards, Traditional. 2 pages. MissoRB #1370744. Published by MissoRB (A0.1810628).This easy level arrangement of Home on the Range is written for Violin, with chord symbols and full lyrics included in the score, making it ideal for beginner and early-intermediate players, teachers, and educational or folk music settings. The song was written by Brewster M. Higley (1873) with music attributed to Daniel E. Kelley, and is one of the most iconic American Western folk songs, often considered an unofficial anthem of the American West.
In this arrangement, the violin carries the complete main melody entirely in first position, using simple rhythms and stepwise melodic motion that support intonation, bow control, and expressive phrasing. The chord symbols reinforce harmonic understanding and allow optional accompaniment by piano, guitar, or ensemble. The nostalgic and pastoral character of this Western folk song is fully preserved, making it suitable for solo performance, classroom activities, and historical folk repertoire study.
