Malbrought s’en va en guerre

The Comptine collection is made up of transcriptions of children's and traditional songs.
Each title includes a piano arrangement graded by difficulty level (from 1 to 9) to suit both beginner and experienced musicians.

The difficulty of this piano arrangement is ④, corresponding to an easy piece that introduces more speed and rhythmic challenges. This level marks the appearance of chords in the left hand and of triple metre.

“Malbrough s’en va-t-en guerre” is a popular French song of distant, mocking origin, whose simple, repetitive melody has crossed the centuries. Its pronounced march rhythm is excellent for working on rhythmic energy and introducing the reading of the first chords in the left hand.

The sheet, including the piano arrangement, the lyrics and a vocal score with chords and guitar tablature, is printed on natural white Rives 180 g/m² paper and presented in a transparent plastic sleeve.

The downloadable version (PDF) includes the MP3.
