THEME FROAA'^SUPERMAN^'

_A JOHN BRIMHALLMim-LeSSOn -

This is the most difficult arrangement in this series. There are two basic problem areas:

Rhythm and melodic skips. As to rhythm, the solution is to count the problem areas slow-

ly, preferably out loud. Watch for the triplets; keep them even, with a good accent on the

first note, (see measures 7 & 16) The dotted eighth note -sixteenth note patterns must be

played as the first and third notes of an imagined triplet: r~3 _ TT~J (see measures 8 &9) The total feeling should be that of 12/8 Time, four beats to the measure, with each beat

sub-divided into a triplet. As to melodic skips, slow practice with careful attention to the

fingering is the solution to the problem. There are some broken chords which can be effect-

ive if fingered properly, (see measures 24 & 25)

Slowly and majestically

times. Count it out carefully.1 & 2 &^^3 & 4 &

In the section from measures 11 through 18, there is melodic syncopation and change

of Time Signature. Count out the following example, from measures 12-15.

LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN

A JOHN BRIMHALL MllU-LcSSOn

The main characteristic of this arrangement is the syncopation in the melody. In

order to play it well, count the rhythm of the melody out loud, with absolutely

even eighth notes, as in the following example.

iCount; 1 & &

ht^LS a& & & & & 4 &

In the fifth line and beyond, each hand has a different syncopation pattern, and

must be practiced separately, while counting carefully.

SOLITAIRE13

A JOHN BRIMHALL MlIU-LeSSOII

The melody jumps around, but is in single notes all the way. Watch the fingering and

it will be easier to play. The accompaniment to this melody consists of simple bass

and chord patterns which continue all the way through the arrangement. Practice this

exercise until you are comfortable with these patterns before beginning the piece.

EVERGREEN(LOVE THEME from A STAR IS BORN)

First Artists presents A BARWOOD-JON PETERS PRODUCTION ofA STAR IS BORN

A JOHN BRIMHALL Mllll-LeSSOn

1. The MELODY is written an octave higher, so that it does not confhct with the

accompaniment. Keep it as smooth (legato) as possible. To sing this arrangement,

most people will find it more comfortable to sing the melody an octave lower than

written.

2. The ACCOMPANIMENT consists of two elements: bass and broken chords. These

must be unified into one larger broken chord. Throughout the piece, the pedal is

changed immediately after the bass note is struck and held until the next bass note

is struck. It would be wise to practice the left hand alone before playing both

hands together.

CAT'S IN THE CRADLEA JOHN BRIMHALL MllU-LcSSOn .

This is basically a narrative story set to music. The lyric is of prime importance, with the ac-

companiment secondary. Watch for the following features of this arrangement:

1. There are four verses printed at the beginning of this arrangement. You can add interest

to your performance by playing the right hand an octave higher during one or two of

these verses.

2. There is a complex lay-out to follow. The first and second endings repeat to the begin-

ning, but note that in the third verse there are two measures which must be skipped.

The third ending, with the D. S., also goes back to the beginning, but skips from the

Coda Sign (-0) to the Coda.

24 REMINISCING_A JOHN BRIMHALL Mllll-LeSSOIl .

This arrangement begins with a rhythmic optional introduction of 16 bars. It is inter-

esting and well worth the effort required to learn it properly. Try this method to

help learn the rhythm of the first two bars.

The left hand part of the chorus has been kept simple, to allow the player to concen-

trate on the fast-moving melodic line. Keep it light and clean, in order to get the de-

sired effect.

YOU NEVER DONE IT LIKE THATWords bv HOWARD GREENFIELD

Music by NEIL SEDAKAArranged by John Brimhall

A JOHN BRIMHALL Mlllt-LeSSOn

The Captain and Tennille recording of this tune is done in a bright tempo with two

beats per measure. It usually helps to practice an arrangement like this in moderate

4/4 Time at first, then gradually go faster, converting to Cut Time.

The written routine of this piece can be confusing unless you observe all the signs.

The four verses at the beginning have various endings: 1st ending, 2nd ending, 3rd

ending and skip to Coda. Also, notice the four measure repeated section in the mid-

dle, and the repeated section at the end which has 1st, 2nd and 3rd endings. With all

of these repeats, these 44 written measures add up to 107 played measures.

Although this arrangement is not difficult, it contains some rhythms which are worthyof independent study. These rhythms from measures 23, 24, 17 and 20 are isolated in

the following example. Count it carefully, in 4/4 Time and in Cut Time.

A JOHN BRIMHALL MtlU-LcSSOIl

For maximum effect, don't rush this one. Keep it moderately slow, with the right

hand rhythm exactly as written. The use of the marked fingering will make the

changes in hand position easier to reach.

Try this left hand pattern, which is found in measures three and four, before you

begin the piece. Careful fingering is essential.

BOTH SIDES NOWI— A JOHN BRiMHALL Mini-Lesson

This arrangement is a little easier than some of the ones in this series. Try to keep the

melody as smooth as you can. Whenever you have repeated sections, you must do

something to keep your performance interesting. In this particular piece you might

play the right hand part one octave higher than written, the second time through. Re-

turn to "as written" for the third chorus. Notice that the melody drops into the left

hand for two notes in measure 22. Don't break the continuity of the melody at that

point.

MR. BOJANGLESA JOHN BRIMHALL MnU'IlMMtl

Since this song has so many verses, some variety is needed, in order to avoid a boring

performance. Try playing the right hand part an octave higher than written the 2nd

and 4th times through. As a piano solo, limit your performance to three verses, with

the middle one an octave higher than written.

The melody of this piece is highly syn-

copated. Keep the rhythm precise and

even. Practice counting this portion of

the melody.
