By Neil Sedaka. By Neil Sedaka. Arranged by Rebecca (Boo) de Bruin. A Cappella,Barbershop,Contemporary,Pop. Octavo. 11 pages. Rebecca de Bruin #713452. Published by Rebecca de Bruin (A0.1111174).

Words and Music by Neil Sedaka in 1972. Arranged in 2022 by Boo de Bruin. 11 pages for Sweet Adelines (ladies' barbershop) chorus. (Tenor, lead, baritone, bass are roughly equivalent to SSAA, although lead and baritone have similar ranges, but perform different functions). That's when the music takes me is taken from Neil Sedaka's Solitaire LP. The song was notable as it was one of the only songs for which Sedaka wrote the lyrics in addition to the music. He often finishes his song using the song. (The ending of the arrangement is inspired by how he performs the song live, rather than the recording edit). It reached #18 on the UK singles chart, #27 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and #7 on the US Billboard Easy Listening chart. This arrangement was written for a barbershop chorus, and as such the lowest voice part has a lower range than is custom for choral SSAA writing. The melody sits with the lead for the vast majority of the song, but with the bass part taking a few of the lowest notes. Please note: in keeping with normal barbershop practice the men's barbershop voicing names are used (tenor, lead, baritone and bass) and an octave-shifted bass clef is used for the baritone and bass parts. Vocal ranges are: Tenor: D4 - G5 (D above middle C to G above high C) Lead: B3 - D5 (B below middle C to D above high C) Baritone: G3 - C5 (G below middle C to D above high C) Bass: D3 - D4 (D below middle C to D above middle C).

By Neil Sedaka. By Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka. Arranged by Allcanplay Piano Music. Contemporary,Pop. Score. 7 pages. Allcanplay Piano Music #6660015. Published by Allcanplay Piano Music (A0.1034932).

This is a full 45-measure rendition of the slow (1975) version of Neil Sedaka's signature song spanning 6 octaves in the keys of G and Ab in Allcanplay format.

Allcanplay is a play-by-picture system created in the early 1980s that:
* Lets beginners play popular tunes and develop good finger coordination before or while learning to read music.
* Allows more experienced pianists to play songs that stretch their current sight-reading ability.
* Permits sight readers to convert difficult songs into picture form and improve their music-reading skills in the process.

Each note of a song is indicated by finger letters (e.g., T=Thumb) and timing (e.g., 1+2+) marked on stacked keyboard diagrams with rainbow-shaded octaves that make it easy to tell them apart. (See link below to rainbowize your keyboard to match.)

Unlike lighted-key or falling-note music, Allcanplay doesn't disappear after you play it. It's like a chord chart or guitar tablature but for every note in a song.

To gain a feel for the expressive tempo of this song, here’s the link to an audio performance by the master himself, Neil Sedaka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUPQbdqeqW8

By Neil Sedaka. By Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody. Arranged by Kevin Riley. 20th Century,Pop. Score and parts. 28 pages. Kevin Riley #685932. Published by Kevin Riley (A0.1081805).

The song was released on Elton John's Rocket Records. After hearing a version of Laughter in the Rain by singer Lea Roberts on the radio several weeks before the planned release of his single, Sedaka phoned Elton John to have MCA Records rush the Sedaka version to release within five days. The opening chord of the chorus was based on that used by John in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which Sedaka has described as a drop-dead chord. He combined that with a pentatonic melody inspired by Aaron Copland. Cody claims to have written the lyrics in about five minutes after smoking marijuana and falling asleep under a tree for a couple of hours.
