🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- Uses a foundational I - I/3 - IV - #IV°7 sequence where B°7 functions as a chromatic connector leading to the dominant C7.
- Employs a secondary dominant chain (VI7 - II7 - V7) to drive resolution back to the tonic, showcasing classic circle-of-fifths movement.
- Features a significant modulation to the chromatic mediant key of A Major (III), introducing a non-diatonic tonal center that shifts the harmonic brightness abruptly.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop scale (incorporating the chromatic b6 passing tone) to bridge the frequent II-V-I and secondary dominant transitions.
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate). While much of the tune follows standard diatonic patterns, the sudden modulation to A major requires precise navigation of a distant tonal center.
