Moon River by Henry Mancini Piano Solo - Digital Sheet Music
By Johnny MercerSocials / Links:
This wedding arrangement of "Moon River" by Henry Mancini (from the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn) is for intermediate piano solo. The excerpt is written in the original key so that you can play along and/or sing with the recording. There is an introduction featuring the Bridal Chorus ("Here Comes the Bride") from Wagner's Lohengrin and a tiny recall at the end to tie it together.The runtime is written in the top left corner (rather than the usual end of piece) to make it easier to reference when creating set lists for wedding gigs.The approach in notation for this arrangement is from a classical background. It is fully written out, without any repeats/jumping back since the accompaniment changes throughout. Some layering and voicing/balance is required and some passages may involve redistribution for reaches, if necessary. For pedal: While not explicitly written, I change with each chord change and more often if it gets too washy. If you are seeking more guidance on how to play, there is a video on YouTube (@ClassicalSqueak channel) with the play through of this arrangement and performance notes: https://youtu.be/7vExnqtV5gY. Page layout formatted for print: letter size, single-sided. Margins spaced for hole-punch/binder with two pages open at once (reference video for setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SwMGAEBWFQ ). -For more information about the arranger, Dr. Ylan Chu, please visit her website: https://www.ylanchu.com More resource links can be found here: https://www.ylanchu.com/resources There are arrangements, ear training, sight reading, music education, and piano videos on YouTube (@ClassicalSqueak).
