Description
An easy piano transcription made by request.
Lyrics are always included in my sheet music, singing is good for health. Please, notice that the vocals are written one octave higher. It's too low to play on piano and too low to sing.
Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of modern heavy music with its layered vocal, computer-generated sounds, and inflections of modern electronic instruments. My piano sheet music can only show you the score within the boundaries of the twelve-note scale and a metered rhythm; alas, the pitch and rhythm have little to do with the aesthetic value of the track. Listen to the song before practicing to fully imitate the beauty of the song: its *timbre, phrasing, inflections.* Play the song, not sheet music. Sing a phrase before playing it on your keyboard.
*ABOUT THE SONG*
Imitate the vocal delivery by Alan Wake or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is relatively rigid and precisely timed, but it produces not much of a melody for the right hand. Chanting is tiring to play.
A predominant vocal style is *staccato*.
"Herald Of Darkness" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice slowly along with the recording.
A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. "Herald Of Darkness" has a semi-improvised, loosely organized and wandering melody and homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.
"Herald Of Darkness" is transcribed in the original *key,* A Minor but the part IV is in F Major. The underlying harmony lacks motion and is fundamentally static: there is no sense of harmonic progression.
Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
