Another Day Of Sun by Benj Pasek TTBB - Digital Sheet Music

"Another Day of Sun" opens La La Land (2016) with one of the most audacious sequences in recent movie-musical history: dozens of drivers abandoning their cars on a 130-foot-high Los Angeles freeway ramp to sing and dance about chasing Hollywood dreams. Wikipedia Composer Justin Hurwitz noted the tension built into the song's DNA — "It's an optimistic song, but it's also about unfulfilled dreams" Wikipedia — and that bittersweet undertow is what gives the number its emotional staying power beneath all the spectacle. The original recording features a 95-piece orchestra and 40-person choir Wikipedia, and Maddux's TTBB arrangement honors that orchestral scale: true to the film version, with a driving jazz-two feel at ♩=122, a layered scat introduction before the full lyric arrives, and the momentum of a production number built to command a stage. This is a showstopper — the kind of opener that tells an audience exactly what kind of evening they're in for.davidmaddux.com
