Mark Hayes Item: 00-PO-0008175 Voicing: 2-Part Alfred Pop Choral Available: SATB, SAB, 2-Part Paul McCartney's enduring masterpiece about transforming broken moments into hope was inspired by civil rights struggles of the 1960s. True to the beloved source, this brilliant Mark Hayes arrangement shifts meters throughout, giving the piece its signature sway. Well-crafted vocals in all voicings make it easy to share this quiet message of resilience. An optional cello obbligato weaves a compelling countermelody over the piano's fingerpicked pattern, which echoes the original recording's acoustic guitar sound. A stunning addition to any program!
