Thomas Newman (1953-) is a member of an American film-scoring family, his father being the composer Alfred Newman (1900-70), who tied with John Williams as the second most Oscar-nominated person in history (behind Walt Disney). His most recent score is to the 2009 movie ‘Brothers’. ‘Any Other Name’ comes from Newman’s Grammy-winning soundtrack to Sam Mendes’ 1999 movie, which starred Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening and Thora Birch. The soundtrack as a whole made was minimalist in concept, and made particular use of world and electronic instruments. This published piano solo version of ‘ Any Other Name ‘ seems to be a condensed version of the full number, which lasts for about 4 minutes and uses electronic(?) pads to accompany the piano chords. This version captures the atmosphere of the longer piece very well. I have played it as written, except that I have deliberately cut the first static chord from 12 beats to 4. If I have left it at its full length, I think I would lose a lot of viewers before the piece gets going! ——————————————————————————————————————————— Played by Phillip Sear www.psear.co.uk

Facebook ► facebook.com ► Download Sam ► SamTunes.NET Sam Harris sings BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER, with piano only, Live, in Concert! “Bridge over Troubled Water” is the title song of Simon & Garfunkel’s final album together, released January 26, 1970, though it also appears on the live album “Simon & Garfunkel, Live 1969.” It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 28, 1970, and stayed at the top of the chart for six weeks. “Bridge over Troubled Water” also topped the adult contemporary chart in the US for six weeks. This song’s recording process exposed many of the underlying tensions that eventually led to the breakup of the duo after the album’s completion. Most notably, Paul Simon has repeatedly expressed regret over his insistence that Art Garfunkel sing this song as a solo, as it focused attention on Garfunkel and relegated Simon to a secondary position. Art Garfunkel initially did not want to sing lead vocal, feeling it was not right for him. “He felt I should have done it,” Paul Simon revealed to Rolling Stone in 1972. Garfunkel said that the moment when he performed it in Madison Square Garden in 1972 was “almost biblical.” In recent performances on the “Old Friends” tour, Simon and Garfunkel have taken turns singing alternate verses of the vocal. Rolling Stone named it number 47 on The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Simon wrote the song in the summer of 1969 while Garfunkel was filming Catch-22 in Europe. The song originally had two …

Thus, musical ideas in improvisation are spontaneous, but may be based on chord changes. Because improvisation is a performative act and depends on instrumental technique, improvisation is a skill. There are musicians who never improvised and there are musicians who have devoted their entire lifes to improvisation. Some Info about Jazz improvisation. Improvisation is one of the basic tenets of jazz. Typically in a jazz piece, the “head” (the song’s melody along with any backing harmony) is played once by the musicians and often repeated. Improvisation by any of the musicians follows, and this is typically the longest section of a song as each musician improvises their own melody over the harmonic and rhythmic foundation of the head. When the end of the head is reached it is repeated and a solo’s length is specified by the number of repetitions of the head necessary …
