THEME FROAA'^SUPERMAN^'
_A JOHN BRIMHALLMim-LeSSOn -
This is the most difficult arrangement in this series. There are two basic problem areas:
Rhythm and melodic skips. As to rhythm, the solution is to count the problem areas slow-
ly, preferably out loud. Watch for the triplets; keep them even, with a good accent on the
first note, (see measures 7 & 16) The dotted eighth note -sixteenth note patterns must be
played as the first and third notes of an imagined triplet: r~3 _ TT~J (see measures 8 &9) The total feeling should be that of 12/8 Time, four beats to the measure, with each beat
sub-divided into a triplet. As to melodic skips, slow practice with careful attention to the
fingering is the solution to the problem. There are some broken chords which can be effect-
ive if fingered properly, (see measures 24 & 25)
Slowly and majestically

LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN
A JOHN BRIMHALL MllU-LcSSOn
The main characteristic of this arrangement is the syncopation in the melody. In
order to play it well, count the rhythm of the melody out loud, with absolutely
even eighth notes, as in the following example.
iCount; 1 & &

In the fifth line and beyond, each hand has a different syncopation pattern, and
must be practiced separately, while counting carefully.

SOLITAIRE13
A JOHN BRIMHALL MlIU-LeSSOII
The melody jumps around, but is in single notes all the way. Watch the fingering and
it will be easier to play. The accompaniment to this melody consists of simple bass
and chord patterns which continue all the way through the arrangement. Practice this
exercise until you are comfortable with these patterns before beginning the piece.

EVERGREEN(LOVE THEME from A STAR IS BORN)
First Artists presents A BARWOOD-JON PETERS PRODUCTION ofA STAR IS BORN
A JOHN BRIMHALL Mllll-LeSSOn
1. The MELODY is written an octave higher, so that it does not confhct with the
accompaniment. Keep it as smooth (legato) as possible. To sing this arrangement,
most people will find it more comfortable to sing the melody an octave lower than
written.
2. The ACCOMPANIMENT consists of two elements: bass and broken chords. These
must be unified into one larger broken chord. Throughout the piece, the pedal is
changed immediately after the bass note is struck and held until the next bass note
is struck. It would be wise to practice the left hand alone before playing both
hands together.

CAT'S IN THE CRADLEA JOHN BRIMHALL MllU-LcSSOn .
This is basically a narrative story set to music. The lyric is of prime importance, with the ac-
companiment secondary. Watch for the following features of this arrangement:
1. There are four verses printed at the beginning of this arrangement. You can add interest
to your performance by playing the right hand an octave higher during one or two of
these verses.
2. There is a complex lay-out to follow. The first and second endings repeat to the begin-
ning, but note that in the third verse there are two measures which must be skipped.
The third ending, with the D. S., also goes back to the beginning, but skips from the
Coda Sign (-0) to the Coda.

24 REMINISCING_A JOHN BRIMHALL Mllll-LeSSOIl .
This arrangement begins with a rhythmic optional introduction of 16 bars. It is inter-
esting and well worth the effort required to learn it properly. Try this method to
help learn the rhythm of the first two bars.

The left hand part of the chorus has been kept simple, to allow the player to concen-
trate on the fast-moving melodic line. Keep it light and clean, in order to get the de-
sired effect.

YOU NEVER DONE IT LIKE THATWords bv HOWARD GREENFIELD
Music by NEIL SEDAKAArranged by John Brimhall
A JOHN BRIMHALL Mlllt-LeSSOn
The Captain and Tennille recording of this tune is done in a bright tempo with two
beats per measure. It usually helps to practice an arrangement like this in moderate
4/4 Time at first, then gradually go faster, converting to Cut Time.
The written routine of this piece can be confusing unless you observe all the signs.
The four verses at the beginning have various endings: 1st ending, 2nd ending, 3rd
ending and skip to Coda. Also, notice the four measure repeated section in the mid-
dle, and the repeated section at the end which has 1st, 2nd and 3rd endings. With all
of these repeats, these 44 written measures add up to 107 played measures.

Although this arrangement is not difficult, it contains some rhythms which are worthyof independent study. These rhythms from measures 23, 24, 17 and 20 are isolated in
the following example. Count it carefully, in 4/4 Time and in Cut Time.

For maximum effect, don't rush this one. Keep it moderately slow, with the right
hand rhythm exactly as written. The use of the marked fingering will make the
changes in hand position easier to reach.
Try this left hand pattern, which is found in measures three and four, before you
begin the piece. Careful fingering is essential.

BOTH SIDES NOWI— A JOHN BRiMHALL Mini-Lesson
This arrangement is a little easier than some of the ones in this series. Try to keep the
melody as smooth as you can. Whenever you have repeated sections, you must do
something to keep your performance interesting. In this particular piece you might
play the right hand part one octave higher than written, the second time through. Re-
turn to "as written" for the third chorus. Notice that the melody drops into the left
hand for two notes in measure 22. Don't break the continuity of the melody at that
point.

MR. BOJANGLESA JOHN BRIMHALL MnU'IlMMtl
Since this song has so many verses, some variety is needed, in order to avoid a boring
performance. Try playing the right hand part an octave higher than written the 2nd
and 4th times through. As a piano solo, limit your performance to three verses, with
the middle one an octave higher than written.
The melody of this piece is highly syn-
copated. Keep the rhythm precise and
even. Practice counting this portion of
the melody.
