Harmony Korine

Advantages: A beautifull piece with a lot of possibillity to work with tone quality with a choir
Disadvantages: Has to be accompanied by piano

...Product: Choral arrangement of the song May It Be by Enya from the movie Lord of the Rings Setting: SATB choir with accompanyment (piano) Artist: Enya Arranger: Mark Brymer Published by: Hal Leonard Music Publishing Price: $1.50 - 1.70 Mark Brymers arrangement of this song, known from the movie Fellowship of rings (from the Lord of the Rings triology), is beautiful and very effective!

Advantages: You get sucked in, you don't want to leave it
Disadvantages: Could get you away from doing what you should

...Is't there always things you feel like you GOT to get, no matter what. Imagine yourself crossing all the boundries to get what you want. Stephen King manage to put the finger on one it, you just got to get this Needful thing. The characters in this book are very strong and sometimes you get the feeling that your actually in the book. As in many of his books it's about a small town with some pretty ordinary people. Everything seems to be in harmony, til´one day when a stranges decide o settle down and open his own store with precious things.
