20 May 08 - 08:03 PM (#2345649) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The New Land (1972 TV Theme) From: Jim Dixon First, there was a series of four historical novels by the Swedish author and historian Vilhelm Moberg: Utvandrarna (1949), translated as The Emigrants (1951); Invandrarna (1952), translated as Unto a Good Land (1954); Nybyggarna (1956), translated as The Settlers (1961); and Sista brevet till Sverige (1959), translated as The Last Letter Home (1961). Then there was a film based on the first 2 novels called The Emigrants (1971), and a sequel, based on the last 2 novels, called The New Land (1972). Both films starred Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb – see the last link) doesn't give any information about the soundtrack, but it seems unlikely John Denver would have been involved at that point. Finally there was a short-lived American TV series "inspired by" the story, also called The New Land. There were 6 episodes in 1974. IMDb confirms: "Series Original Music by John Denver" but gives no further information. |

The New Land (John Denver) As a dream is born in darkness A seed begins to grow The land provides the shelter To dreams that brightly glow We have this dream of America A vision bright and clear The freedom we are seeking We have planted ourselves here In a space that we call sharing We shall see what we can be In a space that we call living We will raise a harmony In the rain and in the sunshine We will make this land our home This land is home It is our home 1974 |
