F454. NOWHERE MAN
key - A to Bb - vocal range - (G#)A to Bb
This fairly bland Beatles tune was given the ballad treatment on an old Vicki Carr album (good singer!) and I fell in love with the song then. Havn't a clue who arranged the album track but did he do a great job! This arrangement is all mine, with a really nice key change.

O MIO BABBINO CARO key Ab 3:34
8 bar intro and vocal in at 15 secs, vocal thru without the end tag section (simply to lengthen it), orchestral instrumental at 1:33, vocal back in at 2:03 with "si, si, ci voglio andare...", continue thru and add the end tag section to finish at 2:50.

F1280. O MIO BABBINO CAR - Ab
key - Ab - vocal range - Eb to Ab
The most haunting of Puccini's arias, beautiful in it's simplicity and melody. Here is my own extended arrangement, perfect as a ballroom modern waltz and always turns heads whenever I play it. Stays in tempo all the way and guaranteed to make an impact. It's really is a gorgeous orchestral arrangement and in the original key, so it's perfect for a soprano voice or a tenor, and it stays in tempo all the way. Some of the youtube recordings available really milk the pauses but it works equally well sticking to the tempo. Reference versions I like are by Montserrat Caballé, beautfiul control, and the wonderful voice of David Phelps, although he doesn't half milk it, but the incredible voice speaks for itself.

O PATO key Bb 4:00
6 bar intro and vocal in at 7 seconds, vocal through twice, piano solo from 1:55, vocal back in at 2:41 with a full reprise, at 3:43 sing "they were dancing to the samba the samba" 3 times and finish.
