Who I'd Be - Shrek The Musical (Orchestral Version)

As part of my graduation project for my Bachelor of Music in Education degree, I arranged and conducted the song “Who I'd Be” from Shrek The Musical. The solo was sung by Roelof ter Poorten. My arrangement was based on the original score by Jeanine Tesori, Danny Troob, and David Lindsay-Abaire. I adapted the solos of Fiona and Donkey for the choir and drew inspiration for the brass section from “Overture/Big Bright Beautiful World” from the same musical. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Arjen Berends, Servaas Schreuders, Sabien Bouw, Rutger Neeleman, Bram Wasser and Timo Bon for their invaluable support and assistance throughout this project.
