By Louis Armstrong. By Bob Thiele and George David Weiss. Arranged by Paul Ayres. 20th Century,A Cappella,Film/TV,Standards. 6 pages. Paul Ayres #1072006. Published by Paul Ayres (A0.1495489).
A beautiful a cappella setting of the classic song, from professional composer-arranger Paul Ayres.
Paul's programme note: Rather than having choirs try to imitate the vocal stylings of Louis Armstrong (but inevitably be a pale reflection of the brilliant original recording) this arrangement places the song in the wonderful world of cool Scandinavian chamber ensembles. Go for a pure, classical, Palestrina sound, and the piece becomes almost like a secular motet: a psalm in praise of the beauty of the natural world and universal human love.
