LOVE STORY (Taylor Swift) meets VIVA LA VIDA (Coldplay) - Piano Cello - by Jon Schmidt

http://www.jonschmidt.com
Hi...Jon Schmidt here. This arrangement is dedicated to Sarah, my 7 year old daughter who loves the song Love Story by Taylor Swift. Because of a common rhythm element between the tunes, I decided I could mish/mash the two. My great friend Steven Sharp Nelson (cello percussion) really makes this tune.

The download will be available from my site (http://www.jonschmidt.com ) in a couple of weeks.

The entire album which will be titled "Bonus Tracks" will be available on iTunes summer 2009. Sheet music will also be available at my site May 2009.

I am an unsigned recording artist and composer.

All songs from all my albums can be listened to for free on my site: http://www.jonschmidt.com

I have transcribed many of them for piano. The first 2
pages of each song can be previewed before purchasing.

There are also several free song and sheet music downloads including All of Me PDF and MP3

I am also on I-tunes, Amazon, etc.

I'll be adding more videos soon.


There's a little demo video I threw together featuring 2 of my most popular compositions: "All of Me" and "Waterfall" at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5mqWd...

THANKS!!!!

Andrea Bocelli - Amapola

"Amapola" is a popular song, written by Spanish composer Joseph LaCalle with Spanish lyrics although the English language lyrics were written by Albert Gamse.

Though the song was published in 1924, the most popular recorded version was made nearly two decades later by the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra with vocalists Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly. The recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 3629. The record first reached the Billboard charts on March 14, 1941 and lasted 14 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1.

Another version, with vocals in English, was recorded by Spike Jones and his City Slickers in the unforgettable comic style of his band. The flip-side was Jones Polka, a drinking-song, sung in a strong European accent.

Japanese singer Noriko Awaya also released her version of the song in 1937. Amapola was also played during the Three Tenors concert in Rome in 1990.

The song is also sung by Andrea Bocelli in his 2006 album Amore and by Paul Potts in his 2007 debut album One Chance.

An instrumental version of the piece formed an important leitmotif in the gangster film Once Upon a Time in America (1984).



lyrics:
Amapola, lindísima amapola,
Será siempre mi alma tuya sola.
Yo te quiero, amada niña mia,
Igual que ama la flor la luz del día.
Amapola, lindísima amapola,
No seas tan ingrata y ámame.
Amapola, Amapola,
Cómo puedes tú vivir tan sola!
