Con te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye)
Music and Lyrics by Francesco Sartori and Lucio Quarantotto. This piece was made famous by Andrea Bocelli and is arranged for advanced pianists by arranger Elena Fortin.
This 5 page arrangement is written in the key of D major, with a modulation to the key of A major towards the end of the song. The piece is a beautiful, expressive one and should always be played cantabile (in a singing style).
The arrangement explores sweeping arpeggios in the left hand, full chordal textures, rhythm figures of three notes vs. four notes or two notes, and is written in a classical style.
Book authors often comment to say that sometimes the characters in their books do the unexpected. I could say the same about this piece! I intended it to be a romantic-style interpretation, but with world events being what they are--the ending asserted itself in a Tchaikovsky-piano-concerto-like style... The ending is full of power and hope.
The piece would be appropriate at memorials, church services, and as a recital piece--the pieces I have been choosing to arrange are ones that I consider to be timeless, have deep meaning, and are filled with hope.
