Program Info: Burt Bacharach is the name behind some of the world's most iconic melodies - a composer who revolutionized popular music with his unique talent for sophisticated harmonies and captivating rhythms. With a career spanning decades, Bacharach's music has become the soundtrack to millions of lives – from romantic moments to major life events.
Now you can experience the music, performed by none other than Heidi Ruud Ellingsen and Heine Totland with Hærens musikkorps . Together they pay tribute to Bacharach's rich musical heritage and bring to life classics such as Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head , What's New Pussycat , and What the World Needs Now Is Love .
Bacharach's collaboration with lyricist Hal David created these immortal songs, performed by legendary artists such as Dionne Warwick and Tom Jones. Now Ellingsen and Totland take up the baton with their charismatic voices and unique interpretations, accompanied by the Army's music corps.
