This is a very attractive arrangement which has some rich jazzy harmonies. The melody is in D major and is given to the 1st violin. Verse 2 is in the higher 8ve, but overall the music is fairly simple and should be manageable for students,amateurs and professionals. A partial score preview is available along with the 1st violin part and a sound sample can be heard.
