Beautiful Dreamer-1864-Stephen Collins Foster-New Life Med Nylon Country Waltz - 12/13/18 03:35 AM
Hi all. Just completed this old classic. Had to try a heap of keys to suit my vocal range-bit of a struggle.
All comments welcome. Rob

Beautiful dreamer wake unto me
Starlight and dewdrops are awaiting thee
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day
Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away
Beautiful dreamer queen of my song
List while I woo thee with soft melody
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful Dreamer out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei
Over the streamlet vapors are borne
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn
Beautiful Dreamer beam on my heart
Even as the morn on the streamlet and sea
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart
Beautiful Dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful Dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
A medium-tempo country waltz with background nylon guitar playing melodically. Acoustic steel-string guitar fingerpicking alternates between low and high strings with a swung eighth-note feel and acoustic piano plays in a similar fashion. The acoustic bass plays a very minimal pattern with an emphasis on the downbeat. NashClassicWaltzSw^ RealDrums use their sixth variation with sidestick hits in the A section and heavy brush hits in the B section. This song is in the key of F#m/A and has a solemn feel, created with simple maj/min triads.
