Review:
Sung in 1962 by Robert Preston and Shirley Jones in Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man,” this time-honored favorite was adapted by the Beatles in 1963, making it the only Broadway tune they’d ever recorded. The uplifting melody, rhythmic feel and lush chromaticism will carry your audience back and conjure up images of “bells on a hill,” and “wonderful roses.” Optional parts are given for a vocal soloist, percussion, orchestral chimes and handchimes. 77 measures.
