Murder On The Dancefloor (Lyrics)

Sophie Ellis-Bextor  

Lyrics are always included in my sheet music, singing is good for health.

I doubled note values to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.

Imitate the vocal delivery by Sophie Ellis-Bextor or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is rhythmic but with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly.

A predominant vocal style is *semi-staccato*.

"Murder On The Dancefloor" 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 "Murder On The Dancefloor" slowly along with the recording.

To keep listeners attention, the chorus was made to be the biggest part of the song. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. "Murder On The Dancefloor" has a homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.

"Murder On The Dancefloor" is transcribed in the original key, E Major, and uses basic and extended major and minor chords E B F♯m A G♯m. Extended chords help create richer sounds.

A chord change creates a meaningful harmonic progression.

The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of conventional tonal behavior and simple stepwise motion.

Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
