nstrumentation Violin Trumpet in Bb Main Vocals Harmony Vocals Piano Performer Notes Time signature is suggested but assume uidity nwritten ritardandos and tempo rubato are allowed when appropriate most specifically at any 5/4 section when the main theme is present Solo Vocal line may be sung as written if the performer is male and the part may be taken the octave up should it fit a female singer's range more appropriately Be sure to follow the notes at measures 51 and 54 as well as when those respective sections return The repeated sections may be played up to 5 times at the performers wishes but must be repeated at least twice For the four measures where vocal harmonies are present the pitches sung do not have to match what is notated but the rhythm must remain the same This section may be repeated extensively up to 15 times As it goes with most pieces of popular music what is notated is not always what is heard There is a fair degree of liberty in this piece to stick with the theme of ow As long as the chord structure and notated meters are followed the piano player may vary the chords and rhythms and the vocalist may change the solo line However these parts can't stray too far from the original content as the Violin and Trumpet parts should not be altered f the piano and vocal parts were changed drastically they would clash Duration Approximately 345
