John and Michelle Phillips wrote this song during a chill winter in New York in 1963. It was first recorded by Barry McGuire; not until 1965 did the Phillipses record it in the version by The Mamas and The Papas that is the familiar hit. It's now listed as No. 89 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. (No. 1, from that same year, is Bob Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone. Of course.)

California Dreamin' is a number one hit from John and Michelle Phillips (who were members of the folk group the New Journeymen, which later evolved into the Mamas and the Papas). Originally written in C#-minor this version transposed to C-minor to make it easier for you to follow (for example on the piano). You can accompany it with the piano using the chords given above or let your choir sing A-capella. The special part about this arrangement is the constant change of melody between the different voices. The iconic flute solo is not included in this arrangement but can be simply added between the second chorus and the Dal Segno. So take this simple arrangement, which is easy to sing but interesting to hear with you and send your audience to sunny California...

California Dreamin' ist ein Nummer-Eins-Hit von John und Michelle Phillips (die Mitglieder der Folkgruppe The New Journeymen waren, aus der später The Mamas and The Papas hervorgingen). Ursprünglich in cis-Moll geschrieben, wurde diese Version nach c-Moll transponiert, um Stimmen oder Finger etwas zu entlasten. Sie können es mit dem Klavier begleiten, indem Sie die in den Noten angegebenen Akkorde verwenden, oder Ihren Chor A-capella singen lassen. Das Besondere an diesem Arrangement ist der ständige Wechsel der Melodie zwischen den verschiedenen Stimmen. Das ikonische Flötensolo ist in diesem Arrangement nicht enthalten, kann aber einfach zwischen dem zweiten Refrain und dem Dal Segno hinzugefügt werden. Nehmen Sie also dieses einfache Arrangement, das leicht zu singen, aber interessant zu hören ist, mit und schicken Sie Ihr Publikum ins sonnige Kalifornien...
