dream a little dream of me

if you are a piano lover, or even a pianist. perhaps you have heard about le ru ma (yiruma), a young korean pianist and composer (born: february 15, 1978). graduated from king's college london. perhaps one of his most famous piece is 'river flows in you' which inspired by samuel vallee (a french pianist and composer). 


 
there are some of my yiruma's favourite. dream a little dream of me is one of them. the song itself was a song from 1931. the music was done by fabian andre and wilbur swachndt. lyrics was written by gus kahn. first recording, known was done in 1931. 

   

besides, michael bubble version, i like robbie williams feat. lily allen version. this song is light, and easy to remember.

enjoy!

stars shining bright above you, night breezes seem to whisper, " i love you". 
birds singing in the sycamore tree, "dream a little dream of me". 
say "nighty-night" and kiss me. just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me. 
while I'm alone and blue as can be, dream a little dream of me. 

stars fading, but i linger on, dear. 
still craving your kiss, I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear. 
just saying this: Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you. 
sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. 
but in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me. 

stars fading, but i linger on, dear. 
still craving your kiss, i'm longing to linger till dawn, dear. 
just saying this: sweet dreams till sunbeams find you. 
sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. 
but in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me.

take five

when i was a kid, i was amazed listening to this lively tunes. besides classical repertoires, jazz always captivate me. i think i have written in my previous post, my dad brought a lot of influence to my music appetite. he played many of world records during my kids time. so rich for a kid.

i was so happy when for the first time, i can play 'take five'. i felt like finding treasure when i found the piano score. i still remember it was during my 1st grade of middle school. it was a special fun for me when i tried to make records on my simple yamaha keyboard of take five. 

the song is a jazz repertoire composed by Paul Desmond and recorded by The Dave Brubeck Quartet on 1959, it is part of The Dave Brubeck Quartet's album Time Out. many decades now, it is still a masterpiece of jazz collections. originally written in the E-flat minor key. The piano music score i attached herewith is also in E-flat minor.
