All you need is love: Love love love Love love love All you need is love There's nothing you can do that can't be done Nothing you can sing that can't be sung Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game It's easy All you need is love All you need is love All you need is love Love is all you need Love is all you need Love is all you need === Sgt Pepper's Lonely hearts club band: We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band We hope you will enjoy the show We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Sit back and let the evening go Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band === With a little help from my friends: What would you do if I sang out of tune Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song And I'll try not to sing out of key Oh I get by with a little help from my friends Mm I get high with a little help from my friends Mm I'm going to try with a little help from my friends (Do you need anybody?) I need somebody to love (Could it be anybody?) I just want someone to love Oh I get by with a little help from my friends Mm I'm going to try with a little help from my friends ==== Imagine: Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... oooh... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one ==== Here comes the sun: Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right Sun, sun, sun, here it comes === A hard day's night: It's been a hard day's night, and I'd been working like a dog It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything So I love to come come, cos when I get you alone You know I feel OK When I'm home everything seems to be right When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright You know I feel alright You know I feel alright It's been a hard day's night, and I'd been working like a dog It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright You know I feel alright === Ticket to ride, I think I'm gonna be sad I think it's today, yeah The girl that's driving me mad Is going away She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't care She said that living with me Is bringing her down, yeah For she would never be free When I was around yeah She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't care I don't know why she's riding so high She ought to think twice She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye She ought to think twice She ought to do right by me ==== The Long and winding road: The long and winding road that leads to your door Will never disappear I've seen that road before it always leads me here Leads me to your door The wild and windy night that the rain washed away Has left a pool of tears crying for the day Why leave me standing here, lead me to you door Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried But still they lead me back to the long winding road You left me standing here a long, long time ago Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door ==== When I'm sixty four, When I get older losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a valentine Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out till quarter to three Would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four? ==== Strawberry Fields forever, Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about Strawberry Fields forever Living is easy with eyes closed Misunderstanding all you see It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out It doesn't matter much to me Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about Strawberry Fields forever Strawberry Fields forever === Yesterday: Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh, yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday === She Loves You: She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You think you lost your love When I saw her yesterday It's you she's thinking of And she told me what to say She says she loves you And you know that can't be bad Yes, she loves you And you know you should be glad oooh he loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah === Finale: All you need is love All you need is love All you need is love All you need is love, love Love is all you need ... All you need is love

about

When I came across this Roger Emerson arrangement of Beatles songs in our local choir I decided it was also an ideal project for my one-man choir dwsChorale.
The version that I used (SAB) didn't even need to be transposed in order to fit my range, which was already an advantage, enabling me to keep the brilliant colours of the original keys.
I have categorised this both as 60's pop and as classical choral - it truly "bridges the divide", in my humble opinion.
The songs in this Medley include: All you need is love, Sgt Pepper's Lonely hearts club band, With a little help from my friends,
Imagine, Here comes the sun, A hard Day's night, Ticket to ride, The Long and winding road, When I'm sixty four, Strawberry Fields forever, Yesterday and She Loves You.
Performed by the dwsChorale.
I hope some other choirs out there will be inspired to have a go - the score can be obtained from Hal Leonard Corporation.
The licence to use this setting has been obtained.
