“Monsters” Sheet Music

Intermediate piano players can re-arrange the left hand by breaking harmony *chords* in arpeggios or other bass patterns.

James Blunt's track has some interesting formal and harmonic things:

"Monsters" is a funeral song that is played with a straight rhythm in compound duple time 6/8. It is hard to count for beginners so I doubled it to 3/4 but be sure not to play in a waltz-like 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 "Monsters" slowly.

Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

"Monsters" is a song with a homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own 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.

"Monsters" is transcribed in the original key, E Flat Major, and uses a mix of major and minor chords. The progression is built from a handful of chords, some of the are inverted.

Extended chords help create richer sounds than those available from basic major and minor chords. A chord change marks time and musical structure and creates a meaningful harmonic pull.

The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of well-proportioned and balanced skips and steps. Steps make it nice and predictable and leaps prevent the song from being too boring.

The last bar with the tonic chord is added by me. Modern commercial music doesn't resolve on tonic to push a listener to repeat the track on a streaming service.
