What The World Needs Now Is Love by Hal David SSAA - Digital Sheet Music

By Burt Bacharach

This hit for Jackie O'Shannon was an early harbinger of the flower power movement, with its overt theme of universal love, and subtext of anti-war sentiment. The arrangement introduces the main theme in a thoughtful, conversational style before moving into the pulsing waltz tempo of the original. A few light chord substitutions bring this into the realm of suitability for BHS-system barbershop contests (though maybe not Sweet Adelines).Vocal ranges:Tenor: G4 - E5Lead: B flat 4 - C#5Bari: B flat 3 - B4Bass: E3 - F#4N.B. This arrangement is notated in in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.
