Stay Well - Kurt Weill & Maxwell Anderson

[engelbach]

Stay Well is a song from Lost in the Stars, the musical by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson that was based on the novel Cry, the Beloved Country, by Alan Paton.

This is a special arrangement, that I've entitled Be Good. It departs considerably from the chord changes in the original, and begins with a contrafact melody of my own on the whole form, before continuing with the real melody of the tune.

It's arranged for a Latin/Swing rhythmic combination. The lead sheet for my arrangement is available HERE. In some places the melody is deliberately discordant with the chords.

Be Good - Jerry Engelbach
