Product Description
Hi, I'm Will Rowsell or Electric Jazz Piano on MuseScore and Youtube, where you can see a lot of my free scores. This is my intermediate jazz piano arrangement of Yesterday by the Beatles.
Although not typically known as a jazz standard, the songs popularity, form and harmony make it perfectly suitable for playing in a jazz ballad style.
It was written in 1965 by Paul McCartney and credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It's massive popularity led to it becoming one of the most covered songs in history.
It has an AABA form often seen in jazz, however the A section is an unusual 7 bars long. Harmonically, it has been compared to "Georgia on my Mind" as they both start in F major, then quickly go into the relative minor key, D minor.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
