Beatles with a twist

This crossover jazz/rock arrangement opens with a “dueling hands” intro in which the left and right hands freely trade bluesy licks that sound improvised.

Next, two-note chords over rocking octaves build to the main melody which is interspersed with cool pianistic fills.

Subsequent verses are enhanced by anticipated rhythms and jazzier harmonies.

The famous pop chorus is thickened and made grittier here with seventh chords.

A key change near the end lifts the energy suggesting a build to the final note. But wait, a surprise pause adds an unexpected twist before resetting the tempo for the home stretch to the last satisfying cadence.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
