Aaron Burr, Sir/Burr's Advice - Hamilton - Leslie Odom Jr.

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to see Broadway's newest, most popular musical Hamilton written and starring Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights).  Since most of the incredible songs are rapped instead of sung, I will be posting a couple short 'excerpts' from songs with recurring refrains/themes (aka songs with melodies playable on flute).  The first one here first appears in Aaron Burr, Sir in the first act with Hamilton and Burr's introduction.   Everything in brackets [...] is spoken/has no melody, and the only singer in this section is Aaron Burr.

Talk less

[Hamilton: What?]

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

[Hamilton: You can't be serious.]

C     ED      C   DE
You wanna get ahead?

[Hamilton: Yes.]

E        D     C     D     E         C    D     C   B
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

[Laurens/Lafayette/Mulligan: Show time!]

Love Yourself by Justin Bieber

Suddenly Justin Bieber became aware of what the public really needed and started releasing decent music?  I was not aware, but Been You and Company are two bops not to be missed from his new album Purpose.  Love Yourself is currently the most popular, so enjoy...

Pity Party by Melanie Martinez

Someone requested a song off of Melanie Martinez's new album Cry Baby, so I chose my favorite

B    C#   C#C#EC#  BAF#
