Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.796624 By Billy Joel. By Billy Joel. Arranged by Gary D.Belshaw (ASCAP). Pop,Rock. Score and parts. 26 pages. DR GARY D BELSHAW #3109511. Published by DR GARY D BELSHAW (A0.796624). For String Quartet plus a guest artist: Alto Sax, Clarinet, Flute, Oboe, or Trumpet. From Billy Joel's final album, River of Dreams (1993).How would you answer a 7-year-old's question, Where do we go when we die? The hint of Medieval ambience came from Joel's plans to make this song part of a suite, with lyrics sung in Latin. The song has been covered more than 2 dozen times. Don't let our version become maudlin or morose. It's got plenty of meaning without getting gushy or sentimental. I chose the Alto sax for its contrast with the strings; the other instruments allow you to select from a variety of guest artists.Thank you for considering this work; your impressions are valuable.
