mp3 - complete arrangement.

This is the complete song, in stereo. Vocal parts played by instruments:
Bells = Grace. Oboe = Sopranos. English Horn = Altos.
Clarinet = Tenors. Bassoon = Basses.
Trumpet/Sax/Trombone = Trumpet/Sax/Trombone.

mp3 practice tracks: Soprano -- Alto -- Tenor -- Bass

These fade in shortly before choir enters.

NOTES TO BAND - nothing new for you to play, but the structure has been shuffled a little to better align with the way Grace sings this song:
(1) No 2/4 bars. Melody now starts on beat 3. Review rhythm at letter "A" / letter "D".
(2) Trumpet/Flugelhorn solo countermelody is now in verse 2 instead of verse 3. (Note that it, too, starts 2 beats later than it used to.)
(3) Sax & Trombone now sit out verses 1 & 2
(4) Horn parts that used to be in verse 2 are now in verse 3.
(5) Horn parts for 3rd chorus (letter "F") are unchanged

NOTES TO CHOIR - since nobody seemed to remember what notes they used to sing, I had to come up with new choir parts. The overall structure is as it was - choir enters on "ooh" on 2nd verse, then switches to words to sing 2nd chorus and 3rd verse and chorus. I tried to keep all four parts very simple. Thanks to Cathy for singing the soprano part.
