Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- The composition utilizes frequent “side-slipping” chromaticism, notably the opening oscillation between Gbmaj7 (bIV) and G7#11 (subV/V) before resolving to the D major tonic.
- Use of non-functional dominant chords, such as the Eb7#9 to Dmaj7 transition, demonstrates sophisticated chromatic voice leading and tritone substitutions.
- The bridge employs rapid modal interchange and pivot modulations, moving through distant centers like C major and F major via minor ii-V patterns.
Improvisation Focus Mastery of the Lydian Dominant scale and navigating rapid, non-diatonic key shifts.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The non-functional harmonic movements and frequent modulations require advanced melodic logic and a strong grasp of chromatic substitutions.
