Pop versions of classical music

[Mike Blackstock]

Just an idea on typesetting popular music that people would recognize but that have copyright issues: quite a number of these songs are, as suggested in another thread, older non-copyrighted songs with new lyrics added and typesetting the originals is one way around the problem.

 

Here's a few that come to mind:

 

'Love me tender' is 'Aura Lee'

'Happy Birthday' is 'Good morning to you'

'Fly me to the moon' is the Bach Toccata (first part anyway)

 

and so on, there's many others if someone would like to contribute some. There's a website somewhere of pop versions of classical music that have made the

British charts - can't think of it offhand.
