Hmm, that's odd. Sorry I was too late to be of any help to you (I was making 
phone calls all day!), but the version of "Avalon" that I have is different. 
The whole thing is in G, verse and chorus!  Mine says "Arr. by J. Bodewalt 
Lampe" at the top of the page, maybe your version is by a different arranger, and, 
hence, has a key change from the verse going into the chorus. What's the 
copywrite date on the modulation version? (Mine says 1920, and yours may too, but 
generally, if it's a different arrangement, they'll have the copywrite for 
that particular arrangement at the bottom, so that they can squeeze money out of 
it by virtue of it not being public domain. Just a thought.)
