Feed The Birds - Julie Andrews Transcription


Song:  Feed The Birds

Song From Movie:  Mary Poppins
Vocalist/Actress:  Julie Andrews




I just finished this transcription.

You must watch for the timing changes...
and the grace notes are sometimes in 1/16...
and at times...in 1/32.

Also...
remember...
accidentals...even grace notes...
change that particular note for the remainder of the measure (only)...
unless changed again in that measure.

After the measure...
all notes revert to the key signature...
unless again changed.

As there are quite a few accidentals in this song...
be aware of them


I was going to do more Rock songs...
however...
 I have gone through some lifestyle changes
(I am taking care of my almost 80 year old mother in her house)...
and she wanted for me to play some soft songs 
for her to listen to as she goes to sleep.

I will also be playing her...
her favorite songs when we go to the mountains to watch the sunset
(I am actually going to take out some chairs, my Bass Flute and music stand...
to the middle of nowhere, to give an open air concert...
to my mother...and to the animals and trees  :)

So...for a while...
I will be transcribing...
what I call...
sunset songs.

I have several sunset songs in mind to transcribe...
all of which are lengthly...
and so...
 may take a while.

I may transcribe some shorter ones first...
I'll have to see.
