About this Piano/Vocal/Guitar arrangement of The Forever Now
"This is us" is a great TV series which has some great music in it. "The Forever now" is one of these songs sung by the talented Mandy Moore. This sheet music for piano, voice, and guitar for the song tries to capture the essence of the song without being an overly complicated arrangement. The accompaniment is simpler than the audio recording but with enough allusions to the recorded performance to really make the piece sound close to the audio performance.
In this version as with all of my arrangements that include an accompaniment and instrumentalist or vocalist, the solo part is included separate in this case with the guitar chords creating a lead sheet so that other performers can have their own music without the Piano accompaniment giving them exactly what the need to perform with less pages taking up less music stand space! Perfect for small performances or Student/Teacher dynamics.
Performance
This would be a nice addition to any repertoire for performing. I think this will definitely be one which will be popular for weddings in the future. It is a beautiful piece of music and the song I can see more and more stumbling across and it meaning so much to them. If you are a wedding musician I would definitely add this to your repertoire.
I have also done a string quartet arrangement of this piece that may be of interest to some.
