Laila Biali’s serene and subtly intricate composition gets a vocal jazz treatment here that mirrors the graceful flow of the original. With a gently pulsing groove and modal harmonies that feel both fresh and approachable, this arrangement brings out the tune’s peaceful, reflective nature without tipping into sentimentality. A Soprano/Alto soloist floats in briefly with a pair of wordless lines, and the vocal ensemble shifts fluidly between unison textures and harmony of varying density levels, with limited S2 divisi, making this chart accessible to a wide range of groups. Rhythm section parts (fully notated for piano, bass, and drums) capture the subtlety and spirit of Biali’s recorded version, keeping things steady without weighing the piece down. No improv sections featured. Ideal for mid-set programming, especially when your group needs a moment to breathe and draw the audience in with something quietly compelling.
