I Love You Truly is based on the 1906 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond; a song which was the #1 wedding song for over 50 years. Â I have created an arrangement with 4 variations with each variation getting further from the original theme and each progressing further into jazz. Â Variation I - I utilize rich chords of the ballads of that period while keeping the sung melody close to the original. Â Variation II - I rhythmically augment the melody, simplify the texture, and add chromatic passing tones and progressions. Â Variation III - I set this in stride jazz with syncopated riffing in the melody. Â Variation IV - I make this one a slower, bolder jazz with various triplet patterns on fragments of melody and a strong jazz chord progression based on fifths. Â This is a gentle jazzy update to the most popular wedding song of all time; perfect for any wedding today, whether vintage or modern. Â
