Fly Me to the Moon
The group I sing with is leaving shortly to perform JS Bach’s Mass in B Minor with the Wilmington, NC Symphony, so we are in heavy rehearsals to prepare. In the bass sectional today the song Fly Me to the Moon came up (don’t ask), and our director remarked that it was originally written in 3 but most arrangements are in 4. I remarked that I have a copy of Astrud Gilberto doing it in 3, but discovered to my embarrassment that she did it in 4 as well. Still, it is a nice arrangement. Naturally, someone has posted it on YouTube.
