Product Description

With this sheet music, you can play "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel on piano!

It's an accurate, carefully created piano arrangement of the full song.
For better playability, it has been transposed one half step from its original key (from Eb minor to E minor).
However, the same arrangement is also available in the song's original key!

The vocal melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a great piano solo cover.

Written by Paul Simon, "The Sound of Silence" was recorded by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel for their 1964 debut album "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.".

The album wasn't successful at first, but an overdubbed electric version of the song became popular a year later, and finally topped the charts in January 1966.
The remix version of the song became the title track on the duo's follow-up album, and was featured in the 1967 award-winning film "The Graduate".

Today, "The Sound of Silence" is considered one to the greatest pop / folk rock songs ever written.

The song's original acoustic version makes for a wonderful, melancholic piano ballad!
