By Andy Williams. By Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. Arranged by songbooks.info. 20th Century,Broadway,Film/TV,Musical/Show,Standards. Score. 3 pages. Songbooks.info #944879. Published by songbooks.info (A0.1360385).Moon River - 1961, music: Henry Mancini, lyrics: Johnny Mercer - was composed for the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's", in which the song was sung by Audrey Hepburn. The composers received the Oscar for the best film song in 1962, and the song is considered a contribution to the Great American Songbook.
The song was adapted for the diatonic Harmonica in the “Richter” system - the “Bluesharp” - and provided with symbols for channel number / blowing or drawing. These symbols are key-neutral, the notes and sounds are appropriate for a harmonica in “C”. The symbols are briefly explained in the appendix. The classic musical notation and/or the lyrics help to develop the song, so that even those unfamiliar with music can learn to play the song with this arrangement.
The sound of a Vibraphone was used in the setting, so that the sound does not mix with the sound of your own instrument. The melody is backed by a metronome and quietly by an organ. We hope you enjoy making music...!
Moon River - 1961, Musik: Henry Mancini, Text: Johnny Mercer - wurde für den Film "Frühstück bei Tiffany" komponiert, in dem das Lied von Audrey Hepburn gesungen wurde. Die Komponisten erhielten hierfür 1962 den Oscar für den besten Filmsong, das Lied wird als ein Beitrag zum Great American Songbook gerechnet.
Das Lied wurde für die diatonische Mundharmonika im “Richter”-System - der “Bluesharp” - adaptiert und mit Symbolen für Kanalnummer / Blas- bzw. Ziehton versehen. Diese Symbole sind Tonart-neutral, die Noten und die Sounds sind für eine Mundharmonika in “C” passend. Die Symbole werden im Anhang kurz erklärt. Die klassische Notenschrift und/oder der Liedtext helfen beim Erarbeiten des Liedes, sodaß auch Noten-Unkundige mit diesem Arrangement das Lied spielen lernen können.
In der Vertonung wurde der Sound eines Vibraphones verwendet, so vermischt sich der Klang nicht mit dem Klang des eigenen Instrumentes. Hinterlegt ist die Melodie mit einem Metronom sowie leise mit einer Orgel. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Musizieren...!
