Original

Beautiful Dreamer composed by Stephen Foster. 1826-1864. Arranged by David Dusing. For SSA choir, Keyboard. Octavo. 6 pages. E. Henry David #392-02588. Published by E. Henry David. PR.392025880. Because Stephen Foster made a conscious decision to write "people's music", many historians and critics have labeled him a musician of limited talent with no more than a natural gift for memorable tunes. In reality, he had a sound musical training. Beautiful Dreamer, written near the end of his life, was an example of his familiarity with the Italian school of song. graceful melodic lines, expressive appoggiaturas, and arpeggiated and strummed instruments. This arrangement, for SSA chorus and keyboard, remains faithful to that style.
