Well did you Evah
Well did you Evah is the second song that we have chosen to do for our arrangement. Similarly to our other song it is a comedic based Musical theatre number but to make our arrangement we have used two different versions of the song to create our own piece, including the original from the Musical High Society. Meg has arranged the lyrics so that it is a mixture but also so that it fits and sounds right for two women singing it in comparison to the original which is a guy and a girl, and then the other version which is two guys. The adapted lyrics are humorous and will engage an audience. I have taken the sheet music for the piano from the original Musical but due to a lower skill level than the piece requires I have adapted the chords to create a characterful accompaniment piece also based on my research of playing in this style and genre. For our next rehearsal I need to decide how to fill out the piano part so that it doesn't sound empty with us having piano as the only instrument in this song. Amy and Meg both need to learn their words as it is quite a mouthful and to aid this in rehearsal we used the technique of repeating the song and them not looking at their words to see how much they could remember. This was also useful because it got them used to covering up when they went wrong a forgot the words which will be helpful for if things go wrong in the actual show.
