Product Description

Taken from the 1978 movie "Grease" and originally performed by Olivia Newton-John in her seminal solo performance. The song is written in an almost "50s doowop" style. However, it also demonstrates a modern and sophisticated sense of harmony and structure. The song performed well internationally, reaching number one in several countries, and has been subject to multiple cover versions since its release.

This arrangement works with most synth tone settings. However, it sounds best on a 'Woodwind' selection. It is specifically designed to accommodate keyboards which do not have a sustain pedal, making it a highly convenient and fun to play arrangement at impromptu performances on the go. Its upbeat 'compound time' combined with a soaring melody makes it an ideal piece for fairground attractions and as motivational music at sporting events. It also serves as a great exercise in practicing chordal phrasing, harmonic change and modulation (citing the second half where it "moves up a gear" melodically) with additional elements of chromaticism and syncopation in the lead melody.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
