Working Classical (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Working Classical is Paul McCartney's third full-length release of original classical music and was issued one month after Run Devil Run's release in 1999. Following up on 1997's Standing Stone, the concept behind Working Classical was to place pre-existing (and in some cases, very well known) McCartney songs into an orchestral context. Specially for this project, McCartney also unveiled some new pieces, namely "Haymakers," "Midwife," "Spiral" and "Tuesday." A different performance of "A Leaf" was originally released in October 1995 on a CD single, and is presented here in a new recording. Performing the new arrangements are the London Symphony Orchestra and the Loma Mar Quartet, with special orchestrations arranged by noted musicians Richard Rodney Bennett and Jonathan Tunick.
