“Sunday” from the Wall to Wall Sondheim concert

Arranged by Jason Robert Brown

A while back JRB blogged about his take on the song, including a PDF of the score to his arrangement. If you’ve ever wondered what an arranger does, or more generally why different renditions of familiar songs might feel different to you, his post should help clear things up.

I started reading his blog post while I was in the middle of listening to this and near the end, I thought “Yikes, the ladies sound… off.” And then 15 seconds later I’m reading JRB’s apology for having written down the ladies’ notes in that section wrong. haha
