Piano sheet music - Sara McLaughlin

[Lois22]

I remember quite a while back there was a big thread of different web sites you could download piano sheet music from. I've searched high an low for Sara McLaughlin's In the Arms of an Angel but to no avail.

While I would be somewhat annoyed if someone is able to show me up and find it in 2 minutes, it would also be very much appreciated!! I swear it doesn't actually exist

You don't mean Sarah McLachlan do you ?


Assuming you do, the song is "Angel" from the album "Surfacing"

What's it sound like?

Record companies often realese accompanying songbooks for albums. Requires money though, so not sure on the download front.

The problem with that, though, is that 9 times out of 10, the arrangement in the book is "Root note in the left hand, harmonized vocal line in the right" (and often transposed to an easier key), as opposed to what the pianist actually plays.

The first page of this is available at Sheetmusicplus.com ("Look inside&quot, and it seems, unfortunately, to conform to the former method. (Link http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_inside.html?item=2925509&cart=121903551213&page=01 )

To be honest, your best bet is to get a chord chart off the net, check it quickly to make sure it's reasonably accurate (the amount of crap that people put up that sounds *nothing* like the song concerned never ceases to amaze me), then load an mp3 of the tune into a sound editor (I use Adobe Audition, but I think Audacity will do it, and is free) and use the "Slow Down" or Timestretch functions to work out the specific voicings used.

I know this is a lot more effort than grabbing the sheet music, but the more you do it, the easier it gets, until you can knock out a decent approximation of a song just by thinking about it in your head.

9 times out of 10 it'll be more accurate than flaky free stuff though.
