For a live performance, there are 2 piano parts - the chord accompaniment, plus an optional right-hand piano part (primo), to be played by a
second player, as a piano duet. This adds the counter-melodies and extra harmonic interest. Where only one piano player is available, they should play the right-hand melody plus the left-hand piano part for the opening piano solo.
The string part may be played by violins, strings or a keyboard set to a strings sound.
The backing track is not intended to be a sound-alike version of the original - it's a little faster and features a lively drum track throughout. It was arranged originally by Jon Raybould to provide a lively piece for his flute pupils to play in their flute lessons.
The original song was composed by Richard Carpenter and features the incredible voice of his sister Karen Carpenter.
