<p>So I’m trying to find the sheet music for “Simple Joys” From pippin, but i have only been able to see the front page of it from one place and this one started at “Sweet summer evenings…” But I want the sheet music that starts at the very beginning “Well i’ll tell you the story of a sorrowful lad…”</p>
<p>No other places that have the sheet music for that song show an example page of that song and I don’t want to buy it if its the wrong type. Does anyone either have the sheet music, know where i can buy the one i’m looking for, or anything else?</p>
<p>I would be so grateful to anyone who could help!</p>
<p>I just looked up Simple Joys on musicnotes dot com. Yes, the preview shows a page of the refrain “sweet summer evenings…” (I know this song as my D played The Leading Player in Pippin)…BUT, while I could be wrong…my belief is that the PREVIEW simply shows you a page of the song and it doesn’t mean this is the FIRST page of the sheet music necessarily. I believe if you were to purchase this song at that site, you would truly receive the FULL song. My D has ordered songs from this site and receives the full song. Most songs do NOT start with refrains and that is why I believe that Simple Joys’ preview page is simply showing you a page of the sheet music (the refrain part, and not a verse). Others can chime in on my assumption if that helps.</p>
<p>PS…it also says that the sheet music for Simple Joys is six pages long which implies it includes the various verses (entire song).</p>
<p>I just went back again to the product information and it says: “This arrangement contains complete lyrics.”</p>
<p>Hope that helps you.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help! And actually I was able to finally contact a store so the person had it in front of them. In actuality that is the beginning of the song it turns out, and after that part is the “i’ll tell you…” most productions however must just flip the verses. I believe thats what I’m going to do. Thank you again!</p>
<p>Good. I realized after I posted, actually, that the sheet music could have had the refrain first, but that it would have at least included all the verses. And that wouldn’t matter because for an audition, you can do any cut you want, as well as change the order by cutting and pasting it. The main thing is that the sheet music was considered to be the complete lyrics.</p>
