SEND IN THE CLOWNS from the musical A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
Piano Accompaniment in Db Major
Karaoke lyrics onscreen (or turn on CC/Subtitles).

Send in the Clowns is a song written by Stephen Sondheim for his musical A Little Night Music. This piano accompaniment is as per the tempos of the legendary performance given by Judi Dench in the Hey Mr. Producer concert in 1998. You can see that performance here : youtube.com/watch?v=yE3dLzIYKs8&ab_channel=pandorasbox01

It is almost identical to the score version except after the initial solo intro (usually on clarinet) the score only has one bar main intro whereas the concert had two bars before the first lyric 'Isn't it rich?...',

Lyrics :
Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground, you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around, one who can't move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines no one is there

Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want. Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here.

[Dialogue section]

Isn't it rich? isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career?
And where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns.
Well maybe next year...

The Accompanist has created a collection of Piano Accompaniments of Musical Theatre and Popular music songs.

These Broadway and West End accompaniments have been specifically performed to match the tempos of the original (cast) recordings where possible. These karaoke style tracks have been created to give the audition performer the sound of what is likely within an audition environment where often we are not faced with a full orchestra but simply a pianist. Therefore the songs can sound very different to the fully orchestrated version.

The tracks are designed to be used either in performance or as practice for auditions. You are more than welcome to use the track to create your own YouTube cover of the song. If you could put a link back to this video in your description that would be amazing of you. I'm creating a playlist on my channel page of covers using The Accompanist's tracks so let me know if you do a cover using it and I'll add it to this channel's covers playlist.
