sarah thomas Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would be hugely thankful if anyone has the sheet music for 'We'll Meet Again', 'We'll Gather Lilacs in the Spring', 'Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree' and 'Pack up Your Troubles in Your Old Kitbag' which I am researching for a lounge jazz quartet I'm in. We're doing a sing-a-long next year and need to learn some new stuff. Any links to useful websites would be great too. I've been searching but without too much luck so far ...

DaveFry Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 They have the sheet music books for that sort of thing in my local library if that's any help . ( Also try searching for Songs Of The Forties . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah thomas Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 I hadn't thought of the library! Thanks Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] A WW1 song, lyrics by George Powell. His brother Felix, who wrote the music, died by suicide. Ironically he did not heed the lyrics [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Powell"]http://en.wikipedia....ki/Felix_Powell[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah thomas Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Cheers for that, pfretrock . Ironically also, that is the only song I have found sheet music for. The library proved a blank, even on microfiche, but the search goes on ,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfretrock Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not much on the internet is there? Perhaps a lot is still in copyright. I found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ill-Be-Seeing-You-Songs/dp/0793537614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah thomas Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 That looks good - I'll see what the other band members come up with first though. We may well have enough to go at. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
