Description
The song With a little help from my friends was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for The Beatles in 1967 and was recorded on the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The vocals were written for and sung by drummer Ringo Starr, which may account for the relatively small compass used in the melody.
The present arrangement for recorder ensemble was written in 2008 for the James Allen’s School recorder ensemble, and in 2020 was selected for the National Youth Recorder Orchestra’s online summer course video during the Covid 19 lockdown.
