any chance you got the sheet music for this? because my dad loves this song and i want to learn it for him for his birthday or fathers day or something.
holb, if you want the music to The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter just send me an e-mail to this name at yahoo domain. This is the third time I have posted this so let's see if this goes through. Not sure what the problem is with telling someone how I can be contacted. THIALH sheet music is not really complex but it will get you started. Regards
Hi Holbropa, can you make a video review of your SU7 Yamaha piano? I'm looking for an upgrade and thinking of getting this but have yet to go to the showroom to try. How much did you pay for this piano? Thanks.
wow- i have this music and can play the first 3 pages but never got the feel as much as you have- the trills were never right for me but now i hope i can emmulate this beautiful, free piece you have presented to us. thank you :)
Absolutely wonderful. I had taken out the sheet music, and had some difficulty getting a feel for the score. You played this beautifully, and I can see, by memory also. Good work. You mentioned this was one of your favorite pieces at the moment. If you have a minute, I'd like to know what some of your other favorites are. Thanks.
holb, that was excellent! I think someone asked a similar question. Is this your arrangement or is their a suggested sheet music piece? I'm a piano hacker and would require sheet music on this one and I would still suffer my way through it. But there is next to no Grusin sheet music out there that is a "transcription" of what you hear in Dave's solo playing. You have solved that issue. Any advice? The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter is my favorite. Also love Thanksong.
Hiya, I bought the sheet music from musicnote or sheetmusicplus. This gave the basic version that you get in the film. I then picked up the rest from the 'Now Playing' album.
I have a better version that I will post soon. My personal favorites from the 'Now Playing' album are 'It might be you' and 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter'. Can't find the latter as sheet music anywhere.
holb, I doubt you saw my comments to other Grusin videos on YouTube, but those are my two favorite songs off Cinemagic! THIALH is my favorite foremost. I would love to get that sheet music. My favorite solo piano tune by Grusin is "Thanksong" off of Mountain Dance album. I have struggled with figuring it out by ear even though it doesn't sound complex. Hope to see more of your vid's! I am not familiar with "Now Playing" album. I wish Dave would tour with Rit as I have never seen hi live.
Hi, I bought a copy of the sheet music from the internet and learned that first. Then I heard a more modern version by the composer (Dave Grusin, see earlier comments for details) and picked up most (but not all) of his changes by ear.
Hi..I'm learning this piece and have listened to your rendition a few times to get the sound in my head. I think overall you have given a sensitive performance. I like that you've kept the dynamics to minimum. Nice job!!
kmaureenk i so appreciated your music.i was pleasantly haunted by it. the reason i say that is because before my dad's death we would listen intently to music we loved and would get lost in our thoughts of its beauty. while listening to your playing of the piano it brought sweet memories of his memory....thanks for letting me feel my dad's presence again though i'm without him.
Beautiful music, beautiful playing! I'm just learning this piece myself, slightly different arrangement. I like yours more, sounds more like the original score.
Hiya, thanks for the comment. The only thing I will say is that the version you will buy is not quite the same as this. I actually took a few bits from a separate arrangement (see below) from a CD by Dave Grusin.
Just take it slowly. Right hand first, then left hand and then both ONE BAR AT A TIME. It seems harsh and slow but it is definately the best way.
I have just started lessons again after 20 years and am totally convinced of this approach.
I don't even remember posting that comment... I think I was looking up videos of the Story and Clark cosmopolitan. Well now I got one for half off ($8,000) because the place that I bought it from was closing down :D
I watched this film on television earlier. The music was very touching. Is any of the scores on a CD? I have come across Dave Grusin's music before also in a film called The Cure.
It is just great. I love this song. Since i haven't it on cd or something else, this is the only possibility to hear it on the internet .. :) Thank you
No problem, glad you enjoyed it. If you want to hear the version that I have tried to emulate then get a copy of "Now Playing". It is a collection on movie music by the composer, Dave Grusin.
Well done! Perhaps you should consider re-shooting the vid since there were problems with camera focus. Also, a side-view of your playing would be much nicer.
Great job. I am learning it right now. Just beautiful!!!

Not harsh at all. My teacher tells me the same.
You are right, the music I have is a bit different than your version which mirrors the movie score. Sounds like you have more grace notes.
