Program Notes
No pop group has ever been more successful than the four Liverpool boys who formed The Beatles in 1959; the music of John Lennon and Paul Mc Cartney has since become immortal. With his great talent as an arranger, Johan de Meij incorporated a few songs into this collection, consisting of the well-known Hey Jude, and lesser-known songs such as Martha my Dear, The Fool on the Hill and Norwegian Wood.
