For vocal soloist, (Optional SATB chorus) and Orchestra in G Major


Brothers Richard Sherman and Robert Sherman were two of the finest song writers of all time, creating iconic family friendly songs and scores for many Disney films including Mary Poppins (1964), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), and Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) and the animated films The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), Charlotte's Web (1973), The Aristocats (1970), and of course the theme park songs There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and It's A Small World (After All). 

The score for Mary Poppins is especially perfect with so many immortal songs like Chim chimeney, Spoonful of sugar, Fly a kite, Supercali ........ and of course the simple but beautiful Feed the birds.  It has such finely balanced musicality as a song and tugs the heart strings with its gentle lilting narrative of the unassuming bird lady on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral.

This arrangement tries to capture the magic of the original song, using some occasional harmonic ideas from the stage musical version as well.

2 Flutes
