Instruments and Sonority The instrumentation is stripped back. Dissonance is common in this piece owing to the complex nature of the jazz chords, but the dissonance is nontheless controlled, and resolved according to the conventions of jazz harmony.The chords are very rarely simple triads – the main complexity of this set work lies in the use of harmony.Can you find where this ‘sign’ is and figure out what this means?Ĭoda This consists of two repetitions of the last line of the lyrics over turnaround chords followed by a guitar flourish. Bars 88-104 – Third stanza repeat In bar 104 the marking DS al Coda means Dal Segno al Coda (from the sign to the coda). Verse 3 Although the guitar drops out the tempo is maintained - this is not free tempo like the intro. Link The guitar plays an altered B minor chord for one bar before the voice returns. Instrumental The guitar solos over two sets of the 16 bar chord sequence from Verse 2 with the bass guitar continuing to accompany. Verse 2 Bars 23 – 38 – third stanza Bars 39 – 54 - fourth stanza The chord sequence is played through once for each stanza. The bass sets the Bossa Nova rhythm before the guitar joins in. This is because of the slower tempo at this point.īreak Bars 19-21 overlap with the last note of Verse 1. Verse 1 Bars 4 – 11 - first stanza Bars 12 – 19 – second stanza Note that these sections are only 8 bars long rather than the 16 bars in the rest of the song.
