Composed by Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers. Arranged by Scott S. Stewart. 20th Century,A Cappella,Broadway,Film/TV,Musical/Show. Octavo. 6 pages. Scott S. Stewart #691235. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.1087040).

“It Might as Well Be Spring� was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for their one film musical, State Fair (1945), and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year. It’s a song not set during the spring, yet it’s one that captures the sense of anticipation we associate with the season. It’s a simple, sincere – from the heart ballad – sung by one uneasy with life and looking for a change; apt for youthful performers and ensembles. “It Might As Well Be Spring� is an American standard that has been covered by countless legendary artists of varying degrees. This arrangement is for a 4-part SATB ensemble to be performed a cappella. Performance time: 2:30+.
