SKU: A0.1571881
Composed by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer. Arranged by Will Rowsell. This edition: pdf. Jazz. Score. 2 pages. Will Rowsell #1143738. Published by Will Rowsell (A0.1571881).
An easy to intermediate arrangement of 'I'm Old Fashioned' by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer for solo piano.
This song has an atypical form: A1-B-C-A2. Each section is eight bars long with the last A2 section extended to twelve bars.
William Zinsser praises “I’m Old Fashioned” in Easy to Remember: The Great American Songwriters and Their Songs: “It’s one of his [Kern’s] finest songs, particularly pleasing because of the recurring use of the four-beat metrical motif that states the title. Every time we hear those four beats (‘this year’s fancies,’ ‘passing fancies,’ ‘I don’t mind it,’ ‘stay old-fashioned’), we’re reminded that we’re in the hands of a craftsman.
“The second half of the C section is a masterpiece of invention, moving, as it does, from A major in a series of imitations, up to a C-dominant-seventh chord as a preparation for a return to the principal statement. And it is a song of extremely narrow range, only a ninth, and attempts no climactic ending. In fact, the reverse.”
