Harold Arlen: Over the Rainbow (with Lo, How a Rose): (Arr. Richard Bjella): Chœur Mixte et Accomp.

The arranger writes: I have always loved both of these tunes and the rich harmonic underpinning of both. This particular partnering I have felt compelled to share due to the equal sharing of the beauty of the melodic content in both and the lyrics that are simultaneously hopeful and bittersweet. The combination of the secular and sacred realms touching create a hopeful whole.
