We all know "Somewhere" from the musical West Side Story. Leonard Bernstein has done such a clever job weaving through tonal centers and constantly lifting the composition through unexpected melodic statements. I had a great time working through this composition using some of my favorite harmonization techniques. I also enjoyed using the open strings quite often. The arrangement is very playable, and easy to learn. The PDF contains the full arrangement and the video contains a discussion of every chordal decision that I made. Enjoy!
