By USA For Africa. By Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. Arranged by Mike Dana. Contemporary. Octavo. 25 pages. Mike Dana Music #5314631. Published by Mike Dana Music (A0.977859).

The message of We Are The World is timeless. This arrangement remains true to the spirit of the original, but is more soulful. There are several solos and duets (as in the original) and an uplifting modulation heading into the last chorus. The optional (included) guitar, bass, and drum parts add a lot to the drive of the piece, but it also works well with the piano accompaniment. Get your 80s on with this classic!

This classic jazz waltz gets a fresh coat of cool reharmonization in this very accessible arrangement for intermediate SATB vocal jazz ensemble (plus rhythm section.)
