This arrangement Is ever ever beautiful!!!!

One of my favourite pieces for concert band! Greetings from the Community Concert Band of Whitby!

The CIty of Dunedin (FL) Concert Band performed this several years ago under my baton. BIG PROBLEM. Why oh why was "Bring Him Home" not included in this arrangement! It is THE Iconic melod in the entire play. SO....I found a perfect stand alone version of "Bring Him Home" that we inserted into the Barker arrangement (it is even in the same key where we pasted it in) and had our HS choir director sing it with the band. It brought down the house of some 800 people in a Standing "O" and we even had to pause the performance before we actually finished out the original Barker arrangement! I think people may STILL be talking about that performance. I am still puzzled as to WHY Barker did not include Bring Him Home. I await an answer. Dr. Z (Lou)
