  • Arrangement Notes: This was originally written as an SSA arrangement, but the arranger decided it was easier to write full choir parts than a piano accompaniment. All in all, the full choir version sounds much like the regular arrangement, with a fuller sound and a few differences here and there that were necessary to keep it functional as an SSA arrangement. (If something more unique is desired, try singing it SSA.) The chord progression is almost exactly like that of the original.
