Wikipedia article
"'A Beginning'" is an instrumental piece composed by the Beatles' producer George Martin and intended as an introduction to "Don't Pass Me By", Ringo Starr's first solo composition from the Beatles' 1968 double album 'The Beatles' (also known as the "White Album").
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' 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".
