Probably a silly question...Ok this is probably a really dumb question but I'm a little confused so I have to ask.
I was listening to a backing track for Bring Him Home from a playalong CD and started singing along and found the song to be a lot lower, than when I compared it to the recording of Bring Him Home from the TAC CD. Is it possible they changed the key or something? Because I'm just a little confused, because the song seems a lot lower. I checked the piano line in this book and its the same in several other piano/vocal selection books for Les Mis. So what's going on??

It could be changed...I believe it's changed in the piano/vocal selections and in the student edition of Les Mis.

Thanks.
Is that key change likely to be the same in the SE and the Piano Selection?
Because it's quite a bit lower than the version Colm sings....

The piano/vocal selections BHH is in F; the performance version, both professional and SE, is in A.

Thanks that clears everything up. I was a little confused for a while but it all makes sense now.
Cheers.

This is probably like the 800th time that OF has corrected me on something. lol

Is it likely that the other songs in Piano/Vocal Selections have been changed key? Or is it only BHH which has been changed?

Sometimes I Dreamed a Dream changed also.

I'm almost positive ALFOR is changed. No concrete proof and too lazy to find out, but I know I can sing along with the CDs no sweat, but it's next to impossible for me to hit some of the low notes when I play it on the piano and sing along.

My piano/vocal selections has I Dreamed a Dream in Eb major and Empty Chairs in A minor, the keys they're normally performed in; my MTI score does include those, but it also has optional versions in E major and Bb minor, so I assume they are sometimes performed a step up. (I also have scans of an old piano/vocal songbook that has IDAD in F major.)
I checked the OBC version of ALFOR, and it is indeed in F major, as it is in the score and the piano/vocal songbook.
