Fabulous gem from the musical "Oklahoma", given a nice Realtrak Quartet arrangement.

THE SURREY WITH THE FRINGE ON TOP key D to Eb 2:51
4 bar intro and vocal in at 9 seconds, vocal through - no solo - at 1:17 there is a 2 bar break and a key change to go into the extra lyrics of the song (or simply repeat the first time again), from 2:24 sing "don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top" and again at 2:32 and finish.

MP3 DEMO:
F2239. THE SURREY WITH THE FRINGE ON TOP - D to Eb Trio
key - D to Eb - vocal range - G# to Bb
Superb Trio arrangement of the classic song from the musical "Oklahoma". A key change is included to repeat the form and add the extra lyrics.
