A dreamy song of the French composer Michel Legrand.

The song is also knownin English as ?The Windmills Of Your Mind?. Noel Harrison sung the firstEnglish version for the 1968 movie The Thomas Crown Affair. It won the Oscarfor best song in 1968. The song has become a standard, covered by more than 80recording artists. I was also inspired by the version of Frida Boccara.
A beautiful, timeless song for your concert program. For youth choirs andconcert choirs.

Duration: 3'00"

An important feature of this arrangement for TTBB a cappella is that the lines given to the accompanying voice-parts are almost as interesting as the melody-line! The accompanying voices even get to sing actual words (as distinct from vocables) in the choruses. In fact, the rhythmic enunciation of text by all the voices is what gives the choruses the stepped-up energy and drive which, in the original version, is created by the addition of the drum-kit. Check out the effect in the audio clip, which is excerpted with permission from a live recording made in 2016 by the Vancouver Men's Chorus under the direction of Willi Zwozdesky.
