Mon amour Slimane












France, Eurovision 2024.
An easy piano transcription made by request.
Lyrics are always included in my sheet music, singing is good for health. Please, notice that the vocals are written using a treble clef with the numeral 8 below it 𝄠 (a suboctave clef). This indicates that pitches sound one octave below the written score. Play the right hand one octave lower than written.
I also *doubled note values* to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.
*ABOUT THE SONG*
Imitate the vocal delivery by Slimane or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is rhythmic but with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly. A predominant vocal style is *legato*.
"Mon amour" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice slowly along with the recording.
To keep listeners attention, the *chorus* of "Mon amour" was made to be the biggest part of the song. I colored it *blue* for your convenience: it is easier to learn a piece of music when you have a mental scheme of it. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.
"Mon amour" is transcribed in the original *key,* D Major, and uses basic/extended major and minor chords *Bm G A D F♯7 C♯m.* Extended chords help create richer sounds.
A chord change creates a meaningful harmonic progression.
The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of unconventional tonal behavior.
Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
