Discovery Level 2-Here is a classic Lennon and McCartney song that was heartfelt and emotional when the Beatles sang it in 1969 and remains an emotional song today for anyone who sings it. Mother Mary referred to in the lyrics is not a religious figure but rather Paul McCartney's mom who was assuring her son that everything was going to work out for the best as the world's most popular musicians struggled with the strains of touring and meeting recording deadlines. A message we all need to hear and remember.Here is a classic Lennon and McCartney song that was heartfelt and emotional when the Beatles sang it in 1969 and remains an emotional song today for anyone who sings it.

Vocal Jazz Series-Darmon Meader has achieved international recognition for his work with The New York Voices. Here he arranges this beautiful ballad in the style fitting of this iconic ensemble. Lush contemporary jazz harmonies and styles define this arrangement with each vocal line featured as if they were soloists. Chord symbols are included for the accomplished jazz pianist but the realized piano part is worthy of any player. This is a “swing ballad” that will leave your audience breathless.

from Mary Poppins Returns-Just like the classic “Step in Time” 54 years prior “Trip a Little Light Fantastic” reigns as the no-holds-barred large-scale production number from the corresponding movie starring everyone's favorite British nanny. With lamplighters taking the stage in lieu of chimney-sweepers this song which takes its name from an old phrase whose meaning is “to dance nimbly ” is preserved in this rousing arrangement from Mark Brymer that shines bright!
