The entire arrangement is mindful of the range of the instruments, making it not too difficult to play and allowing for the exploration of the timbres of the woodwind and brass instruments.
The arrangement has a different introduction and ending than the original, but it does not change the tonality or form of the original piece. This makes it more interesting by incorporating percussion in both parts.
The Secret Garden is a musical based on the 1911 novel of the same name by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The musical's script and lyrics are by Marsha Norman, with music by Lucy Simon. It premiered on Broadway in 1991 and ran for 709 performances. The story is set in the early years of the 20th century.
"The Girl I mean to be" is a powerful and inspirational song about self-discovery and empowerment. The song is a ballad about a young woman struggling to find her place in the world. She constantly feels judged and compared to others, and she's tired of feeling like she's not good enough.
However, the song's protagonist eventually realizes that she is the only one who can define who she is. She sings, "I'm the only one who knows what I want to be." She realizes that she doesn't need to change herself to please others. She is perfect the way she is.
The song ends with the protagonist declaring that she is going to be the girl she wants to be. She sings, "I'm gonna be the girl I wanna be, no matter what they say". She is determined to be herself, no matter what others think.
