Stop the tape and rewind Oh and if you walk away I know I’ll fade ‘Cause there is nobody else [All] It’s gotta be you Only you It’s got to be you Only you [Liam] Now girl I hear it in your voice and how it trembles

Score now available on my website at www.audiomuse.ca . UPDATE Here is the link to an article I wrote on arranging for piano. Touches on some issues such as ease of reading, and amount of detail. URL: audiomuse.blogspot.com High quality version: ca.youtube.com Lilium is the opening theme song from the anime Elfen Lied. It was originally composed by Kayo Konishi and Yukio Kondou with lyrics based on Latin biblical texts. Due to popular demand, I decided to arrange a complex piano version that captures as much detail from the original as possible. However, in doing so, I have made the piece quite challenging to play. I believe the original song was composed for either a piano quintet (2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello, 1 piano) and vocals or a string chamber ensemble plus a piano and vocals. Thus, one of the challenges in reducing this score to for solo piano was to choose the which pitches to include in order to capture the fullness of strings, while at the same time keeping in mind the constraints of the pianist (eg maximum stretch, pedaling with minimal blurring). The melodic line often crosses under or is surrounded by harmonizing parts. One of the most difficult passages is at bar 9 (at 0:55 and at 2:23) where the middle triplet figures are shared by both hands. The video shows screen captures of the score synchronized with the music for you to follow along. The score will be available on my website once I get some free time. If enough people are interested, I might do some
