World You're Coming Into and Save the Child

Description

Paul McCartney was commissioned by The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra to compose a work to mark its 150th anniversary and collaborated with composer/conductor Carl Davis on this 90-minute classical piece, which features soloists Kiri Te Kanawa and Jerry Hadley in a vaguely autobiographical story of a Liverpudlian named Shanty. This edition features 2 of the best known pieces from the work and is scored for voice and piano accompaniment.
