Arrangement of the song For Once In My Life (Frank Sinatra/Stevie Wonder) for Oboe Solo.

SKU: A0.794045

A beautiful ballad written by Cy Coleman and Joseph Allen McCarthy in 1952. It appeared on Frank Sinatra's 1959 album No One Cares. This is a contemporary arrangement making use of a root-based chord-blocking technique that John and I have used in a number of our titles. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did putting it together.
