StallbaumerWith this sheet music, you can play "Beyond the Sea" (originally "La Mer") on piano!
It's a carefully created piano arrangement of the famous chanson which is playable, and sounds beautiful.
The entire melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect instrumental / piano solo cover.
Of course, you can also use this piano arrangement to accompany a singer, or sing along yourself - this sheet music includes a system for the singer, as well as the song's full lyrics.
"Beyond the Sea" was composed by French singer-songwriter Charles Trenet in 1943, then titled "La Mer". He recorded it in 1946.
Over time, it became a popular jazz standard / chanson classic, and has been recorded by many other artists.
The lyrics for the English version (retitled "Beyond the Sea") were written by Jack Lawrence.
Bobby Darin's 1959 recording was a big hit, and further popularized the tune.
The song was also used in the end credits of the 2003 Disney / Pixar film "Finding Nemo", in a version by Robbie Williams.
"Beyond the Sea" makes for a wonderful piano piece!
