“The Night We Met Sheet Music”

The vocal line is transposed one octave higher than Lord Huron sang it so the left hand had a place to play.

Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of modern pop 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.

Imitate the vocal delivery by Lord Huron 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.

"The Night We Met" is played with a straight rhythm in common time 3/4. The phrases are of an irregular length and last for 7 bars. Practice slowly along with the recording.

To keep listeners attention, the chorus of "The Night We Met" was made to be the biggest part of the 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.

A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. "The Night We Met" 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.

The left hand plays arpeggios.
