COVID-19 is a reminder of our shared humanity for many, and for some of our fragility as well. Without resorting to hyperbole, I stand in awe of those people who have taken it upon themselves to care for victims of this disease, at times without adequate protective equipment, and with much still unknown about how this virus spreads.
This is the spirit with which I wrote this arrangement of George and Ira Gershwin's Someone to Watch Over Me, and I'm thankful that colleagues I admire so much, Joseph Alessi of the New York Philharmonic, Ko-Ichiro Yamamoto of the Seattle Symphony, and Brian Wendel, my section-mate in the Vancouver Symphony, all agreed to record this arrangement with me. We were assisted by Jasper Davis who served as our AV specialist for this project.
I hope you enjoy listening to, and playing this arrangement. When you do so, I wish you to consider donating what you're able, in time, talent, or funds, to help our fellow humans at times of need whenever they arise.
With Admiration and Love for Healthcare Professionals who are Watching Over Us Always.
