O mio babbino caro (arr. Opera Lead Sheets) by Giacomo Puccini Sheet Music for Lead Sheet / Fake Book at Sheet Music Direct

Product Details

Product Description

One of the most famous soprano arias from Puccini, from the opera "Gianni Schicchi".

This version is in the original key and has been re-arranged as a lead sheet that provides the melody for the singer as well as the accompaniment in form of chords.

A lead sheet for opera arias may seem out of place in a classical tradition of strict adherence to the
original score. However, its worth noting that opera arias are written originally for orchestral accompaniment, and the piano versions we are accustomed to are already an arrangement and
reduction of a more complex work.

This lead sheet arrangement is an excellent resource for expert musicians who can approach this famous piece with unprecedented creative freedom, through improvisation and arrangements that were not immediately achievable with the score alone.

Singing students and teachers, as well as non-professional accompanists, will also appreciate how the aria accompaniment as a lead sheet is more accessible to anyone who knows about chords and how to play them. That includes non-traditional accompaniments such as guitar, lute, ukulele and more.

Last but not least, music theory fans will appreciate how the lead sheet format provides an unprecedented view into the harmonic structure of the aria, and how composers like Puccini leverage subtle changes in harmony to produce results of unparalleled beauty.
