Moon River

About this arrangement

Moon River - made iconic by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and an Oscar winner for Best Original Song - is one of the most timeless pieces in the American Songbook, and this intermediate piano solo arrangement does full justice to its quiet, elegant beauty. The arrangement honours the warmth of the original while weaving in a jazz-influenced middle section inspired by Beegie Adair's renowned rendition, giving the piece a gently improvisatory quality that makes it more than a straight transcription and genuinely enjoyable to explore. A deeply satisfying piece for pianists who love classic film music and the Great American Songbook. Perfect for recitals, intimate settings, or building a repertoire of enduring standards.
