Far From Home sheet music

Far From Home sheet music is listed here under a shared title rather than as one clearly identified work. The scores differ in opening key, metre and attribution, so compare those details before choosing a version. One score is identified as a reel and credited 'after Chief F. O'Neill'; the others carry no composer attribution.

A shared title, not a confirmed work

The title Far From Home appears on scores that do not present a single consistent text. One is identified as a reel; the others have no composer attribution. Because the title alone does not establish musical identity, treat each score as its own listing until the music confirms a match.

The reel setting

The score titled 'Far From Home' (reel) 1261 is credited 'after Chief F. O'Neill' and opens with no sharps or flats in 4/4. The word reel identifies the type in the title.

Keys and metre describe openings

The score opening in B-flat major has two flats and is in 2/2; the one opening in G major has one sharp and is also in 2/2. These details describe the opening only. They help match a score to a version you know, but they do not prove that the full pieces are identical or different.

What to check before choosing

Instrumentation is not stated for the listed scores. Before choosing, inspect the score and compare the opening melody, key, metre and any attribution. Do not assume that every score titled Far From Home is the same tune or the same arrangement.

Common questions

Is Far From Home a single identifiable work?

The available scores do not establish Far From Home as a single identifiable work. One score is a reel credited 'after Chief F. O'Neill'; the others carry no composer attribution and open in different keys, so the shared title alone does not prove they are versions of the same piece.

What is known about the reel version of Far From Home?

The score titled 'Far From Home' (reel) 1261 is credited 'after Chief F. O'Neill' and opens with no sharps or flats in 4/4.

What keys and time signatures do the non-reel Far From Home scores use?

One listed Far From Home score opens in B-flat major with two flats in 2/2, and another opens in G major with one sharp in 2/2. Neither carries a composer attribution. These details describe the opening only and do not establish the full harmonic content.

Is a composer known for Far From Home?

A composer for Far From Home is not verified in the available material. The reel setting is credited 'after Chief F. O'Neill', which is an attribution note rather than a confirmed statement of composition; the other listed scores carry no composer attribution.

What instrumentation are the Far From Home scores written for?

Instrumentation is not stated for the listed Far From Home scores. Their score information gives title, attribution where present, opening key and time signature, but not scoring; inspect the score itself to confirm whether a version is for fiddle, flute, piano, or another instrument.

How should I choose among the Far From Home scores?

Matching the version you already know is the safest approach. Compare the opening melody, metre, key and any attribution with the score in hand; the reel opens in 4/4 with no sharps or flats, while the other listed scores open in B-flat major and G major, both in 2/2. A shared title alone does not prove the pieces are the same tune or arrangement.

Does the credit 'after Chief F. O'Neill' prove O'Neill composed Far From Home?

The credit 'after Chief F. O'Neill' is not proof that O'Neill composed Far From Home.
