Stormy Weather from
"this is a good arrangement. When we had it transposed from E-flat to C major, it went up a minor 6th instead of down a minor 3rd, but thats OK. It can be read either by note or from the Chords printed into the score. It has a whole "interlude section, seldom sung, in addition to the regular A1, A2, Bridge, A2 form, adding a part C before returning to A-2. We did not use that part."

Ill Walk With God
"A fine old standard, people love it. I think some chords have been changed since the original. Be aware that while the published key is GM, it was originally sung by Mario Lanza in Bb. Most of us like it in the lower key, but true tenors (or sopranos) will want it higher. You can select your preferred key before printing, but once youve printed it in one key, you may not re-print it in another key without paying for the song again. "
