“Promise” Sheet Music

"Promise" is played with a compound rhythm in 6/8 time. I I doubled note values to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 3/4 time.

It is easy to count for beginners but be sure not to play in a mechanical way. Strive for a loose and bouncing feel accenting strong beats. Take care to maintain a steady pulse and play along with the recording if you find that the memory eludes you.

Practice "Promise" slowly although it's a very slow song with only 38 beats per minute. Laufey slows slows down even more at the end of a musical phrases, so play rubato (as you wish, freely, with emotion).

The chorus (It hurts to be something but it's worse to be nothing with you) was made to be the shortest part of a song. I colored it blue for your convenience: it is easier to learn a piece of music when you have a mental scheme of it. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

"Promise" is a song with a polyphonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides not only a harmony to support the vocal but also its own soft and quiet melody.

Vocal in the original track is marked by subtle bends and slides, with intense ornamentation. It is impossible to convey on piano with a fixed pitch of the keys. A predominant vocal style is legato, all slurred notes are vocal bends and to should be barely heard.

"Promise" is transcribed in the key of C Major although it uses non-harmonic tones and chords interacting with stable chord tones. The progression is built from a handful of extended chords. Extended chords help create richer sounds than those available from basic major and minor chords.

The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of stepwise motion.
