Andrey Plays Accordion (Bayan)

Into the Unknown (bayan)

Bayan arrangement of Into the Unknown from Over the Garden Wall. Music by B. Armstrong, J. Kaufman, P. McHale, and J. Rubenstein. Both hands rewritten for a Stradella left hand.

Score files and credits

Arranged for bayan from the piano transcription. The right hand keeps the melody and one harmony voice; the left hand plays bass and chord buttons, one of each at a time.

Forty-one bars in C♯ minor, moving to D♭ major for the climax. Where the right hand uses bassoon plus clarinet, the bassoon reed sounds an octave below, so written octave doublings collapse to single notes and the D♭ section is written an octave high. The left hand follows the piano's bass line with fifth-button moves and counterbass pickups; the D♭ climax is a waltz, bass on one and chords on two and three. Registration cues sit above the right hand: clarinet for the intro and quiet chorus, bassoon plus clarinet in tune for the verse, tremolo for the climax.
