There is some debate as to whether the tune to Dark Eyes (Les Yeux Noirs) is a traditional melody, or a Russian cabaret song. Whichever the case, it is a tune which has captured the imagination of musicians for many years.
It was made famous in the 20th Century by the great Belgian jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Several sets of lyrics have also been added to the tune, in many languages.
The instrumentation is:
(1) The melody for C instruments (such as flute)
(2) An easy part for C instruments
(3) The same melody for B flat instruments
(4) The same easy part for B flat instruments
(5) The same melody for E flat instruments
(6) A similar easy part for E flat instruments
(7) A single-line percussion part
(8) A piano part which could be played by a pupil (approximately ABRSM Grade 3) or teacher
(9) A ukulele part with chords, the melody and TAB
(10) A guitar part with chords, the melody and TAB
(11) A bass part in notes and TAB. This part could also be played by a cello, bassoon, trombone or any low-range instrument
(12) The melody written in a higher octave for more-advanced players (approx. ABRSM Grade 3-4).
In the absence of some of the above, the arrangement is still effective due to the doubling of the melody and all inner parts. The bass part can also be omitted as the piano plays appropriate root notes, and the guitar plays chords. There is complete flexibility according to the resources at your disposal.
A YouTube video with a demonstration video and audio track will be available at www.danjonesguitarist.com and on YouTube. The link will be published at sheetmusicplus.com soon.
