Arranged by Elena Fortin. Music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
This beautiful piece was sung as a duet by Zac Efron and Zendaya in the movie musical "The Greatest Showman". As if the duet wasn't challenging enough, they filmed it while performing a breathtaking aerial act. (The movie involves the circus!)
This is one of my favourite parts of the movie (aside from the fact that Wolverine can sing)!
This song is part of the creative challenge that I started a few years ago. Every year, I choose to arrange songs that are meaningful to me. They have an uplifting message, have stood the test of time, and can be used for many different occasions.
This arrangement is written for the advanced pianist--the left hand has an accompaniment that alternates between arpeggios going all over the piano keyboard, and deep bass notes and full chords. Take the time to figure out a fingering that works for you! I made suggested fingerings in the score, but fingering is always personal--what works for some may not work for you. Aim to bring out the melody while you play. I usually hum the words in my head when I'm playing! The rhythms in this song are challenging--there are a lot of offbeat rhythms that have to keep moving forward.
Depending on your personality, you can play this song with the sweetness intended for youthful love, or you can play it with the idea of two lovers that are feeling the impossibility of being together with the norms of society at that time period. Depending on my mood, I can make this song sweet or stormy! You get to decide!
