🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights:
- The A section utilizes an E Dorian modal vamp (Em7 to F#m7), establishing a static harmonic environment rather than functional minor.
- A modulation to the relative major (G Major) is achieved via a standard ii-V-I (Am7-D7-Gmaj7) in the bridge.
- The composition concludes with a shift to the parallel major (E Major), utilizing a minor ii-V (F#m7b5-B7b9) to resolve into Emaj7 for a bright, Picardy-third effect.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating the modal shift between E Dorian (minor sections) and E Ionian (major sections).
Difficulty Rating: 2/5: The predictable 3/4 time signature and clear ii-V-I cadences make it accessible, though the parallel major modulation requires precise tonal awareness.
