Cormorant Tune Book Foreword:
We are excited to share this collection of lead sheets from our album Cormorant!
Our creative approach has always been to develop original music by ear, and seldom have we ever written it down. In this book, we present what we view as the compositional building blocks for each tune, and we are excited for you to uniquely interpret those ideas! To present the tunes this way, we felt that lead sheets were the most logical format. The lead sheets catalog sections of the pieces we taught each other by ear before entering into the arranging process. Group arranging is central to the final shape of a work, and so arranging often influences and changes the composed material. Each lead sheet represents the current way that we view the composed elements of each work, and includes chords that we now think of as the standard changes. We hope that you take from this book whatever interests you most; whether that is playing through the lead sheets for fun, using them as a reference to understand the arrangement choices we have made, or just laughing at how funny our music looks written on a page—we have certainly done plenty of that throughout this process!
