Jazz great Eddie Heywood and lyricist Norman Gimbel teamed up to penned this romantic ballad going up to Canada for a tender getaway.  Scored for 4-part SATB chorus and piano this arrangement is a good introduction to the style and harmonies of jazz.  A great piece to build and develop ensemble sound through technique, tuning and interpretation. A good piece to learn the musical histories of these two men.
