Lady Grinning Soul arranged for solo piano

Solo piano arrangement of Lady Grinning Soul, a track from David Bowie’s 1973 album Aladdin Sane (a vinyl copy of which is propped up on the music stand). It was written by Bowie and is in the key of F# minor. My arrangement tries to copy lots of flourishes that were played on the original recording by Bowie’s pianist, the great Mike Garson.

Fabuloso!! Excelente interpretación en piano...felicitaciones!!!

[@heynicolex]

Wow that was astonishing! Compliments

[@gillianomotoso328]

Very impressive! Also, you say it’s in F# minor… But it’s actually in a few keys throughout as you probably realized! G# minor is a major aspect of the song too. The resolution at the end focuses in on that. The chorus also begins in D# minor. There’s also allusion to B major throughout (which you end on). Bowie was truly masterful at stringing together modulations and modal interchanges to create something exceptionally and uniquely expressive.

Fantastic job I love it

[@noinformation4813]

beautiful arrangement

[@celimene9445]

Thats amazing

[@rotcod2886]

Really cool. I recommend a mic that is more suited for piano. The compression really messes up the nicer sound that I'm sure that piano is creating.

[@tiagotome5419]

AMAZING!!

[@paolocaputo3168]

beautiful (if it wasn't for pijama and bare feet)

[@starman9933]

Is it just me or is there habanera in there?

[@johnnyjazzman]

Yes, I think it was implied in the original, but I've definitely put a bit of the Carmen Habanera aria in here, albeit unwittingly (I just had to google it to work out what you meant!). I always thought that Lady Grinning Soul would sound great used in the tango round on Strictly Come Dancing or Dancing With The Stars.

[@ces7506]

do you have sheets for this?
