The movie picture 'Exodus' by film director Otto Preminger with Paul Newman in the cast is based on a novel with the same title by Leon Uris. The title-song (with lyrics by Pat Boone) survived the film, as is often the case, and has been performed by great artists and has also been arranged several times. This arrangement by Johan de Meij can be performed as well instrumentally, as with a singer, with a mixed choir or a male choir. The arrangement has been dedicated to the famous baritone singer Marco Bakker, who promotes singing with band accompaniment. It was also for this singer that Johan de Meij arranged songs from 'South Pacific' ('Some enchanted evening' and 'This nearly was mine') and from 'Porgy and Bess' ('It ain't necessarily so' and 'Ain't got plenty o' nuttin').
