Program Notes

This lively setting of an old-time fiddle tune will send you "travelin" on a delightful musical journey! Written back in the 1850s, we know it as Arkansas Traveler. This colorful setting puts a new twist on this folk-tune favorite.

- Program Note from publisher


The Arkansas Traveler was the state song of Arkansas from 1949 to 1963; it has been the state historical song since 1987. The music was composed in the 19th century by Colonel Sandford C. Faulkner (1803–1874). The song is traditionally known to have had several versions of lyrics, which are much older than the copyrighted song. The current official lyrics were written by a committee in 1947 in preparation for its naming as the state song.
