Auprès de ma blonde

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 the piano arrangement is ⑤, corresponding to a fairly easy piece with more frequent chords in the left hand and use of the sustain pedal, at a moderate tempo.

“Auprès de ma blonde” is a traditional French song whose origins go back to the 17th century. Built on a simple strophic form, it tells with gentleness and nostalgia of a lover’s separation, in a style both popular and expressive. Very well known and widely passed down, this melody is part of the French musical heritage and remains a staple of the traditional repertoire.

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.
