Product Description

Merry Go Round of Life (Intermediate Piano Solo Arrangement)
Composer: Joe Hisaishi
Arranged by: Lirica

This is an approachable piano solo arrangement of Merry Go Round of Life from Howls Moving Castle, designed for lower-intermediate level players. It was inspired by Joe Hisaishis majestic performance at the Ghibli 25th Anniversary Concert, which features a shorter version of the piece. This arrangement retains the original charm and emotional depth while simplifying the harmonies and textures for ease of reading and enjoyment.

The complex harmonies are reduced to mostly triads, with occasional sevenths kept within comfortable hand positions, making the piece accessible without sacrificing its musicality.
In measures 68 to 69 and 72 to 73, youll find a chromatic scale written over a tied dotted half note. In the original orchestration, this chromatic line is played by the flute over the sustained violin melody. For practical performance on the piano, it is perfectly fine to release the tied note slightly early to focus on the chromatic run, as long as you are aware that these lines belong to different voices. Keeping that distinction in mind will help bring out the orchestral texture without technical strain.

Perfect for pianists who want to capture the magic of the original piece without overly complex techniques, allowing you to focus on musicality and expression.

Enjoy playing this beloved piece with confidence and joy!
