Sheet Music Details
Our arrangement offers a rich musical tapestry:
- Vocal Melody: The treble clef in the right hand carries the emotional weight of the lyrics, allowing you to sing or play the heart of the song.
- Harmony Part: The left hand provides additional harmony, enhancing the overall texture.
- Sweeping Arpeggios: In the chorus, sweeping arpeggios add depth and drama, creating a satisfying challenge for intermediate pianists.
- Pedaling and Sustain: The ending section features marked pedaling, but sustained chords can be used throughout bars with the same harmonic structure.
- Left Hand over Right Hand: This simple concept yet can be technically difficult is seen in the ending section. Care should be taken to ensure the upper melody is clear and legato and that there is no distinction in sound from when the right and left hand swap taking the melody
- Guitar Chord Sheet: Included alongside the piano part, the guitar chord sheet provides:
- Lyrics and Chords: Strum along with the lyrics using chord symbols.
- Chord Diagrams: Visualize finger placement for each chord.
