Conductor's Notes
This arrangement is pretty faithful to the original tune. Listen to the recording to get the feel. One big thing we have to do to make this work is to be very neutral on long-note backgrounds. The original song has lots of synthesizer in the background. Synths hold notes at a steady volume by default, so we need to emulate that.
Tempos:
Beginning: = 76
2 before A: = 92
C: = 184 (it’s a 4 feel here, but will be conducted in 2 at = 92)
F: = 76
