Composer Fred Fisher began his song-writing career in Chicago and this song was his tongue-in-cheek tribute to the 'windy city'. The song met with instant success, and has been performed by several notable singers, including Frank Sinatra. This finely crafted arrangement captures all the wit of the original song. It is one of Barry Forgie's most requested arrangements.

Doctor Who first returned to our screens in 2005 after a hiatus of nearly sixteen years. The Eighth Doctor, Paul McGann, had previously been in control of the TARDIS console in 1996 when an abortive attempt by US company FOX had been made to reintroduce the series to a worldwide audience.
So after a long wait, fans and the general public alike were ready for a fresh new series with a brand new Doctor; this time the Ninth Doctor portrayed by Christopher Eccleston. Headed by Lead Writer and Executive Producer Russell T. Davies, the show was a huge success, winning new fans instantly and award after award after award. When Christopher Eccieston decided to retire from travelling through the fourth dimension, Tenth Doctor David Tennant took over the role leading to farther acclaim for the series. In January 2009 it was announced that Matt Smith will take over the role of the Eleventh Doctor when David Tennant regenerates at Christmas later this year. Doctor Who not only helped revitalise Saturday night entertainment, influencing new television programmes such as Primeval, Robin Hood, and Merlin, but revitalised both adult television and children’s television alike with spin-offs Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures respectively.
This Suite spans music from the first three series of the 21st century show and beyond. With music composed by Murray Gold, the new combination of orchestral and computer generated sounds have given the show a truly cinematic feel. It is no longer a programme ridiculed for its shoddy effects and cheap synthesised soundtrack, scores now include jazz funk numbers such as Westminster Bridge’, choral numbers such as ‘The Face of Boe’ and epic orchestrated tracks such as ‘The Doctor Forever’.
‘The Doctor Who Theme’ is taken from Murray Gold’s first arrangement for the series back in 2005. It also contains elements of the second arrangement, first heard in Christmas 2007’s ‘Voyage of the Damned’.
‘This is Gallifrey’ is taken from the finale of series three in which the Tenth Doctor battles his arch-enemy, fellow Time-Lord the Master (played by Derek Jacobi/John Simm). This track represents the home of the Time Lords, the beautiful planet of Gallifrey and encapsulates the Doctor’s feelings of loss and longing for the now dead world. It appears in the episodes ‘Utopia’, The Sound of Drums’ and The Last of the Time Lords’.
Westminster Bridge’ comes from the very first episode of the new series ‘Rose’. When Rose is attacked by the mysterious Autons, deadly creatures made of living plastic, the Doctor must fight to save both Rose and the world. It was also used in the Tenth Doctor’s first episode of series two ‘New Earth’.
‘The Face of Boe’ is a millennia old creature who will depart his message onto ‘a wanderer, to the man without a home, a lonely god’. This man is the Doctor. The Doctor meets Boe three times before the Face reveals his secret. The Doctor is not alone. This track appears in the episodes ‘New Earth’ and Gridlock’.
‘The Doctor Forever’ is the Tenth Doctor’s theme. Strong and heroic, this theme is first heard in the 2006 Christmas special ‘The Runaway Bride’ and was used throughout the third and fourth series. Along with ‘Doomsday’ and ‘All the Strange, Strange Creatures’ it has become one of the most popular pieces of music among fans of the series.
This suite is dedicated to William Hartnell, the First Doctor, who would have been 100 years old in 2008, the year of arranging.
