"A Beginning" is an instrumental piece composed by The Beatles' producer George Martin and intended as an introduction to "Don't Pass Me By" by Ringo Starr.[1]
It was instead used as an incidental cue in the Beatles cartoon film Yellow Submarine and heard right before "Eleanor Rigby." It was included on Anthology 3[1] as a replacement of a planned "new Beatles song," Now and Then (along with "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love.")
A Beginning was scored by George Martin and recorded on 22 July 1968, using the same orchestra that appeared on The Beatles' song "Good Night".[2]
