The Living Years by Mike + The Mechanics Choir - Digital Sheet Music
By Mike + The Mechanicsvery competent
This arrangement requires a very competent soloist, either Alto or lower Soprano (or a little group of very good soloists). I have transcribed all the intricacies of the solo from the original recording. The choir come in on the first chorus and everyone gets a bit of the main melody insome of the verses. The choir parts aren't too hard or wide ranging but it is a very satisfying sing for everyone. The Sopranos get some nice high notes in the chorus which they will enjoy. It works very well with just female voices without the Bass part. Be warned, it's a real tear jerker but a beautiful song about how we should tell people how we love them, whilst they are still here. This arrangement is in B flat, a tone higher than the original. Please give the video a watch.
