 | The summer solstice and days of long light are on their way! "Here Comes the Sun" was written by George Harrison and was recorded by The Beatles on Abbey Road (1969). It has since been covered by many artists. I have recorded the song on two different albums. The first is a jazz arrangement I wrote for my 2018 album Summer Mood. In that arrangement I included some reharmonization and a slight reworking of the melody. (See Dec. 15, 2024 blog for more on reharmonization.) The second is part of a Beatles medley created by guitarist Dennis Costa for our 2021 album Echoes of a Century. During the COVID-19 pandemic The Beatles' recording of Here Comes the Sun was played in many hospitals as a way to help lift the spirits of weary staff and recovering patients. Dennis and I recorded our Echoes of a Century album during the pandemic and having that project at that time certainly lifted our spirits! |
