Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1090879 By Audra McDonald. By Randy Newman. Arranged by Sjaak Douma. Blues,Jazz,Pop. Score. 4 pages. Sjaak Douma #695019. Published by Sjaak Douma (A0.1090879). This arrangement starts out with the original intro chords played as a moderate blues shuffle, further altered by gospel passing chords and crushed blue notes. From here, the arrangement continues by use of improvisational right-hand blues figures alternating and interweaving with the original melody. Alternatively, the second verse is treated with a baroqueian melodic sequence accompanied by a circle of fifths progression, offering a classical variation of the same material. Concluding the arrangement, an extended piano technique is used in between sustained chords by percussive use of the fallboard with the fingers, supplying rhythmic support to its final drawn-out harmonies.
