Elena Fortin #791761. Published by Elena Fortin (A0.1192328). The Rainbow Connection from The Muppet MovieIntermediate Piano Solo arrangement by Elena Fortin. Original words and music by Kenneth L. Ascher and Paul Williams.Most people hear the intro of this piece and immediately think of Kermit the Frog, strumming his banjo and singing this beautiful little melody. It is one of the very first sheets of music that I went out and purchased at our local music store. I was so excited to learn it! Fast forward many years later (ahem!) and I am so happy to see it entertaining a whole new generation of people. On YouTube, Kermit uploaded a special performance of it in April 2020!I performed it as a duet with a student at a recital and it was a big hit (we even came up with our own choreography to go along with the piece!) This melody is one of those timeless and iconic pieces that will forever live in my heart. I was excited to see that I would be able to share an arrangement I made!My version starts out in the key of A major and offers a simple, more pianistic left hand accompaniment. Smooth, flowing arpeggios accompany most of the piece. The first verse is left to be fairly simple and lets the melody shine. The second verse has more harmony in the right hand and some fills that build on the melody. The key change has more movement and signals the last verse done in a very full, orchestra-like sound. The finish brings us back to a more simple arrangement--back to it's humble beginnings!I hope I made Kermit proud!Please check out my other arrangements available on SheetMusicPlus and Sheet Music Direct.WIth love,Elena
