Home Sweet Home 2

[Jackie Bullinger]

Home! Sweet Home!" is a song adapted from American actor and dramatist John Howard Payne's 1823 opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan. The song's melody was composed by Englishman Sir Henry Bishop with lyrics by Payne. Bishop had earlier published a more elaborate version of this melody, naming it "A Sicilian Air", but he later[when?] confessed to having written it himself.

When the song was published separately,[year needed] it quickly sold 100,000 copies. The publishers[who?] made a considerable profit from it, net 2,100 in the first year, and the producer of the opera did well. Only Payne did not really profit by its success. "While his money lasted, he was a prince of bohemians", but had little business sense.[1] In 1852, Henry Bishop "relaunched" the song as a parlour ballad, and it became very popular in the United States throughout the American Civil War and after. The song's American premiere took place at the Winter Tivoli Theatre in Philadelphia on October 29, 1823, and was sung by "Mrs. Williams."

The Village of East Hampton acquired his grandfathers seventeenth-century house, known as "Home Sweet Home," and the windmill behind it, converting the homestead into a living museum in the landmarked East Hampton Village District.

The song is known in Japan as "Hanyū no Yado" ("埴生の宿") ("My Humble Cottage"). It has been used in such movies as The Burmese Harp[5] and Grave of the Fireflies. It is also used at Senri-Chūō Station on the Kita-Osaka Kyūkō Railway.

Bishop's tune, though, is perhaps most commonly recognized in the score from MGM's The Wizard of Oz. The melody is played in a counterpart to "Over the Rainbow" in the final scene as Dorothy (played by Judy Garland), after she had returned from the Land of Oz, tells her family, "there's no place like home".[6]

Alli worked quickly and focused on what was important to me! She takes pride in her work! I would suggest 2 days of service as you could get started and get expert advise, the later date to help finish what you have left, and donate the remaining.

The whole team worked like a well-oiled machine. They were fast, efficient, friendly, helpful, and caring. I enjoyed having them in my home and appreciate their attention to detail. I greatly appreciate their expertise and I'm proud to know my home is now really our home!

This program collaborates with local community resources, volunteers, and donors to help our neighbors in Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties acquire safe affordable wheelchair access ramps. This program also provides Durable Medical Equipment (DME) that helps people with disabilities access their homes and communities.

Thanks to donations from donors Stavros Home Sweet Home program has been able to build over a thousand ramps for people with disabilities with limited resources. Wheelchair ramps provide people with disabilities and their families the ability to remain at home and be part of the community.

We are so grateful to our donors who help us build ramps for people with disabilities allowing them to enjoy independence and the ability to be part of the community. If you wish to donate to help us build more ramps please click our donate button.

The exhibition of Home, Sweet Home in the spring of 1863 auspiciously marked Winslow Homer's debut as a painter. The painting was enthusiastically admired. "Winslow Homer is one of those few young artists who make a decided impression of their power with their very first contributions," a critic observed. "He at this moment wields a better pencil, models better, colors better, than many" [1] more established artists.

Home, Sweet Home was a remarkable technical achievement for someone, like Homer, who was largely self-taught. In this, one of his very first paintings, Homer's contemporaries were able not only to take clear measure of his large artistic gifts, but also to sense qualities of mind and character that were important parts of what one of them called the "promise of a worthy art future." [2] They saw those qualities in the "delicacy and strength of emotion" [3] of Home, Sweet Home , its "real feeling" [4] and lack of sentimentality. They saw them, too, in its directness, and in its intelligence: "There is no clap-trap about it. Whatever of force is in the picture is not the result of trickery, and is not merely surface work, not admitting of examination, but painstaking labor directed by thought." [5] And they saw them in its modernity: It is "inspired by a fact of to-day." [6]

Two union soldiers (infantrymen, as the insignia on their caps show) listen as the regimental band plays "Home, Sweet Home." In what might almost be a description of Homer's painting, and of the kind of experience Homer himself must have had when he visited the front in 1861 and 1862, the Union general Nelson A. Miles described an occurrence in the valley of the Rappahannock:

Late in the afternoon our bands were accustomed to play the most spirited martial and national airs, as "Columbia," "America," "E. Pluribus Unum," "The Star-spangled Banner," etc., to be answered along the Confederate lines by bands playing, with equal enthusiasm, "The Bonny Blue Flag," "Southern Rights," and "Dixie." These demonstrations frequently aroused the hostile sentiments of the two armies, yet the animosity disappeared when at the close some band would strike up that melody which comes nearest the hearts of all true men, "Home, Sweet Home," and every band within hearing would join in that sacred anthem with unbroken accord and enthusiasm. [7]

The title of Homer's painting evokes the "bitter moment of home-sickness and love-longing" [8] that the song inspired in the soldiers. The title also refers to the soldiers' "home," shown with all of its domestic details--a small pot on a smoky fire, a tin plate holding a single piece of hardtack--which Homer, who did the cooking and washing when he was at the front, knew intimately, and which, with surely intended irony, are very far from "sweet."

[1] The painting was marked "for sale" in the catalogue of the 1863 National Academy of Design exhibition. According to "The Lounger. The National Academy of Design," Harper's Weekly 7, no. 331 (2 May 1863): 274, the painting was labeled "sold" by the second day of the exhibition. The buyer was possibly Avery. See also: Lloyd Goodrich, edited and expanded by Abigail Booth Gerdts. Record of Works by Winslow Homer. New York, 2005: 1:no. 189.

[2] The first day of the Avery sale auctioned the "private collection of oil paintings by American artists, made...during the last fifteen years..." Home, Sweet Home was sold on the second day, and appears in the "Catalogue of oil paintings, being the balance of the stock consigned to S. P. Avery." Avery seems to have owned the painting only in order to sell it; it was not part of his personal collection.

[5] Goodrich and Gerdts 2005 give the "c. 1920" date. La Branche lent the painting to exhibitions at both the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Worcester Art Museum in 1944, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1950.

[8] The full provenance was based on the catalogue entry in Marc Simpson, Winslow Home Paintings of the Civil War, exh. cat., The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, 1988: 142-147, and expanded with information from the NGA curator's acquisition proposal, a 17 June 1997 letter from Stuart Feld (both in NGA curatorial files), and sources referred to in previous notes.

Beautiful choices! It looks like there are two different colors for the exterior siding (a light color on top and a dark color for the lower half). Can you list which one is Dovetail and what the other one is called? Thanks!

Good afternoon! The siding and shingles are actually both Dovetail by Sherwin Williams. They may appear different because they are painted onto different materials and because the bottom part gets some shadowing. Thanks so much!

Your front door is what I have been looking for and no one can tell me where to get it or the brand. Do you have any information at all on it. I would appreciate it so so much! I want the 3 window 3 panels and everything I can find is 3 window 2 panel.

Building a home and was looking to use mostly stone and some hardie. However, the cost of the stone is much more than expected. Therefore, I am looking to use some brick, stone and hardie that compliments. Would you provide your manufacturers and exterior color schemes for this home. It all looks beautiful together. Thank you in advance.

Beautiful colors! However, I am confused on the trim color. It looks very white in the photo, but the SW website identifies crisp linen as very yellow. Can you confirm the color of the trim on this home? Thank you.
