On a romantic note...

I managed to re-harmonise a beautiful ballad popular during the war just in time for my singing lesson! I tried a couple of different options and ended up with two totally contrasting versions. One is a spacious ballad with gospelly chords, the second is a Kenny Wheeler style straight 8's feel. The first version was certainly more appropriate to the tune and the second version was quite similar to Remembrance, so I decided to use the first one.

I used the tune There's A Long Long Trail A-Winding, as I really liked the imagery it conjures:
