Two Part S/L version by Kathleen Hansen.
We’re trying to make digital copies of sheet music for “Better Times Will Come” available in as many forms as possible. Unless someone donates the arrangement (thank you Mary Beck and SDWC!), Janis pays for it herself. To that end, if you want sheet music for a particular instrument please consider creating it and sending it to us. Janis is funding this entire project herself, and cannot afford to create specific arrangements for guitar, violin, bassoon etc. But we really do welcome arrangements!
Reminder: this song is by Janis Ian!

From Janis: Much beloved within and without their home base of San Diego, “SDWC” are one of the best-known choruses in the country. I spent a fantastic week with them when I was guest artist for their annual fund-raiser, and got to work with current artistic director, Kathleen Hansen, on her beautiful arrangements of my work. Kathleen also faciliated the participation of ASL interpreter Carla Warnock in this project; Carla’s work is featured here as well as separately here. Much gratitude to the three generations of women represented in this video, not only for doing my song, but for their motto: “Come for the music, stay for the heart.”
