Al Heeley Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) We're layng on the music for the towns panto again this year, struggling to sort out the key song; The King's New Clothes, original by Frank Loesser, from the Danny Kaye/Hans Christian Andersen film. Can't find any music or tab anywhere. Listening to the recording it is so sparse and a lot os narrated over, with the music being back in the mix that I can't pick out a lot of the notes, chords or key changes. Can anyone offer advice or assistance? This song is a bit of a dogs dinner for us and the show is only 2 weeks away!

Doddy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've never done a panto or show where I've had to learn it by ear. How come there are no dots supplied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 its a small group of friends in an amateur dramatics group that lay on the panto each year, they write it themselves, tell us what songs they want and we go off and learn them. We've never been provided with music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 spotted that, thanks but erm, cough, prefer to find bass tab or guitar chords if at all possible due to my lack of formal music training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 S'ok guys I got what I needed (the chords) from some tab-free piano score I found lining the cage of my friends hamster sanctuary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
