AhDoe – Music as an International Language

I have been tied up with lots of things lately, mostly job related stuffs. I have not been working OT till late night for ages, therefore the best word that fits perfectly in my situation now is: Fatique!

Last week, I received an email from my reader about her request for songs from a Korean Drama called Coffee Prince 1st Shop.

Hello Ah Doe,

I’ve tried your rainbow song from Jay Chou and it sounded perfect. I keep playing over and over again… thank you for sharing! 🙂

I wanna ask, do you erm, do requests? I have 2 piano song pieces from a Korean movie but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Not even in the Korean sheet music sites. What’s worst, I don’t even know the exact titles of the song. (I searched through the ost categories). So I’m wondering if you could put the songs into proper sheet music for me. I can give you their MP3s if you’d take up my request. so, will you?

PS: These songs are played in the ‘Coffee Prince’ drama for their episodal scenes. So maybe that’s why I can’t find them because they’re ‘scene’ songs…

Thank you 🙂

And that’s the reason behind the creation of this piano sheet you see below…

Firstly, triggered by a request

Secondly, due to the reason that I have also watched this drama before (Although I can’t even remember at which scene this music was played)

Thirdly, the music itself sounds pleasant

And it’s name is May Second – Giving Tree

*ahem* Strange name for me~

May Second (Giving Tree) – Coffee Prince Piano Sheet Preview

This piano sheet is designed at its original key, E Major. I’ve left out the guitar chords intentionally because this song is meant to be an instrumental piano piece.

Don’t worry about the lyrics, as I mentioned, this song is “instrumental”. If you prefer, you can imitate the idea from “Sound of Music”:

“When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything”

Just joking, again…

Well, back to the most important thing:

Please download the complete piano sheet for “May Second – Giving Tree” from the Korean Movie Coffee Prince 1st Shop for free here.

Most probably I am among the first few people to publish this piano sheet online.

Till date, I have not watched Sex and the City film. I’ve planned to watch it, but just couldn’t find a perfect timing with relaxed mood to be in the cinema with mouthful of popcorn.

I’ll wait to see Carrie Bradshaw at my own television later.

Although I may be late to watch the movie, I am still an early bird for the soundtrack! I forwarded through each songs and found this song called “It’s Amazing“. And amazing-ly, Jem sang it.

Jemma Griffiths, best known as Jem

The opening is very classical, it makes me wonder why a harmonic minor scale can be plugged into a film that’s related to Sex and City. The song came to a twist when Jem’s voice enters with rhythmic bass at the background.

I have to admit that the harmonic minor scale made this song more extraordinary and it led me to transcribing it. (For those who are not familiar with Jem, she is a Welsh. Other than this song, she sang another popular song – “They“)

As usual, some points to take note regarding this piano sheet:

1. The piano sheet is designed at its original key, i.e. C Minor (3 Flats).
2. Lyrics and chords included.
3. The part where Jem’s singing is electronically distorted part is also transcribed. Therefore this piano sheet is completely put onto paper without any deletion of bars.

Lastly, this piano sheet is again, fairly easy with not many harmonics. For not-so ambitious players, feel free to give it a try.

Bloody, this Korean drama is really bloody. Too much blood during the filming of surgery till I managed to get used to it when I finished the whole drama.
