🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights:
- Utilizes sequential ii-V-I progressions to pivot through disparate tonal centers, including C minor, Eb major, G major, and Gb major.
- The opening Cm7-F7-Fm7 sequence creates a moody modal shift from C Dorian to C Aeolian/F minor.
- Features sophisticated chromatic ii-V resolutions (e.g., Abm7-Db7 to Gbmaj7) that expand the harmonic vocabulary beyond the C minor home key.
- Employs dominant b9 and altered extensions to facilitate smooth voice-leading during frequent modulatory cycles.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating rapid modulations through chord-tone targeting and the melodic minor scale.
Difficulty Rating: 4. The constant modulation through distant keys and the non-diatonic sequences require advanced harmonic fluency and precise melodic navigation.
