Reviews
Displaying all reviews (3)This is a great arrangement, just be aware that on the first repeat you need to change both the 2nd to last bar to what is played in the original recording and add 1 bar extra with a semibrieve rest at the end.
The arrangement is not complicated and you can have a lot of fun with it if you have a good singer and want to add your own flavour to how it is played.
