Small World - Styne-Sondheim

"Small World" is a beautiful ballad from the 1959 Broadway hit "Gypsy." The form is AABA with a 6-measure extension of the final A. A lead sheet for "Small World" can be found in The Real Ultimate Jazz Fake Book, The Real Ultimate Broadway Fake Book, and The Ultimate Fake Book, all published by Hal Leonard.

"Small World" was covered by Johnny Mathis who had a hit with the tune in 1959. This performance can be found on Youtube. Do check out a Youtube performance by Melissa Errico and a terrific unidentified pianist.

My chord chard uses the fake book changes. I have arranged the tune in a 32-bar AABA form with a coda of the 6-measure extension of the last A, so it is only played on the last chorus. I use the Jazz - Ballad Swing style at 80 bpm. There are cue notes for the melody in the text field.

Keith,

I don't know how I missed this two years ago. Thanks so much for posting it. I had always loved this song and had forgotten about it. Johnny Mathis's version was a great favorite when I was a teenager.

I took your chart and made some changes for myself.
