Rodgers and Hammerstein


This Nearly was Mine


From South Pacific a tune that I otherwise would not have considered to work up for solo guitar were it not for Chick Corea' s rendition on Expressions. Specifically, it was the inclusion of the tune's beautiful verse which prompted me to take notice. So, with thanks to Mr Corea for inspiring the form (and a few harmonic devices), here is my arrangement for "This Nearly was Mine."
