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.

lyrics

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
