It's Op. 143 #3 by Hovhaness, so I'm not sure if it's identical in melody
to the version you're used to.
It's published by Edition Peters - #6045 in their catalogue. I paid $2.50
for it about a year ago. It's in the key of C, with the absolute range
being E above middle C to the second G above middle C, and it tends to
"live" up there a bit, so I'd say it's probably a better tessitura for a
soprano than for a mezzo or alto like me.
