Earth Day 2009

Another setlist - this time from the Earth Day Sunday Service in 2009. This looks likes more like a draft than the final version, so if you have a program from this service, feel free to correct me.



We started by picking thematic pieces (Blue Skies, Somewhere over the Rainbow), and we even wanted to perform "It's not easy being green", but we couldn't find the music in time.

  • Quiet Nights (Corcovado)
  • I'm Beginning to See the Light
  • Over the Rainbow
  • Sunday Kind of Love
  • What a Wonderful World
  • Blue Skies


What a Wonderful World is a nice piece, but it's really tough to arrange. Most jazz tunes have a standard AABA form, but this tune didn't fit nicely into that mold. It was more like "Start here, then jump to there, but don't play it all the way through, I'll come in here, then we'll jump back to the beginning..." I was a little worried that we'd end up in different parts of the page, but we pulled it off.
