The same notes, rearranged, become a lullaby or a war cry.
means An arrangement is the way things are put in order or organized, or a plan or agreement worked out between people.
from From the French 'arranger,' to put in a row or rank — built from 'a-' (to) plus 'rang,' meaning row or rank, itself borrowed from a Germanic word for ring or circle (a cousin of English 'ring'). So at its root, to arrange is to set things into their proper line. The musical sense, of rearranging the same notes for different instruments, came later, layered on top of that older idea of tidy ranks.
