This was the first piece of music I downloaded and I was thrilled. I was listening to Norah Jones CD and wished I could sing that. Within 10 minutes I was singing it to her exact arrangement!!! I am a random and moody person, so I never know what I will look for next. This was so easy that I could easily become addicted.

The Nearness of You

Music directions for this lovely arrangement are excellent. An immediate readable, singable version of the song - it sets the scene musically from the first few bars. The chords and the notation still give you enough freedom to ad lib to your heart's content. Otherwise, just follow the music. Sounds great!

The Nearness of You

I am a vocalist, and I collaborated on this piece with my friend, who is a professional accompanist. On both ends, we were happy with the musical arrangements! It made for a beautiful cover of a timeless classic.
