MuseScore 4 Updates: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (TV Theme)
6IMPORTANT! This video is an updated version of a previous arrangement, but with mistakes fixed. I hate it when I don't notice them until it's too late.
This was a bit of a tough to figure out how to do it because I was doing it for instruments, and this is an a capella song; it just won't work any other way otherwise. But I did it; this is my interpretation of the theme to the hugely popular children's TV game show from the 1990s, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (based on the hugely popular computer software games by Broderbund Software). The show was created partially due to a National Geographic World survey revealing Americans had alarmingly little knowledge of geography at the time, with 1 in 4 not able to locate the Soviet Union or the Pacific Ocean.
This is for my traditional trio of alto saxophone, vibraphone, and piano.

EDITS: Fixed a typo in the lyrics. I also added extra rehearsal markers where I missed them, and made the ending parts staccato in places I had missed previously. That's what I get for rushing it; how embarrassing!
