Here's the sheet music, transcribed by Gulliver Johnson at No Sheets Given! • TUTORIAL | Cantina Ban...
Here are Martin Spitznagel (me, on left) and Bryan Wright (username "bixvenuti") having some fun performing "Cantina Band" by John Williams. We were giving a concert in Pittsburgh on March 28, 2009, and needed a tune to end with. We didn't have anything prepared, so we got together the afternoon of the concert and figured out this arrangement.
Bryan and I both specialize in ragtime and early American piano music, so it's kind of awesome that John Williams chose to score the seedy, dangerous cantina in "A New Hope" with ragtime.
For more info on us, visit Bryan's website at www.bryanswrigh... and my website at www.spitzfire.com. Thanks for watching!
Special thanks to:
Yuko Eguchi, video
Bryan Wright, audio

Desomorphinum did the video sound bad to you (quality-wise)? I wonder if there's something wrong with your speakers/headphones.

@Desomorphinum 8 лет назад

Johanna A. Florez It's youtube sound. It's literally never good/high quality. Got better over the last few years, but if you have decent headphones and something to compare with, you just stop listening to music via youtube. Don't get me wrong, the video is awesome. The sound just isn't.

@GrimmTeather 15 лет назад

The best thing about this is you're having fun and this rubs off on anyone who is watching, regardless if they like the song of not. This was terrific.

3 года назад

The good thing about this arrangement is not having “too much”. With a bit of reharmonization technically it is possible to play it for one person.

@Spitzfire 3 года назад

That's been one of the best and most surprising parts about this - the arrangement is spare and accessible enough that folks can learn it and share it!

By the way, Martin, I bought your album (Handful of Keys) on Amazon and all I can say is that I love it. Nothing better to ease the tension in L.A. traffic than the "Super Mario Bros Medley" done in stride. You need to record and release your Star Wars tunes on your next album. Also, I downloaded the sheet music for the "Cantina Band duet". Hope you put out sheet music for a Solo (no pun intended... Get it?... Han Solo?) version for this song and the Super Mario Bros Medley. Keep up the great work... your stuff is awesome!!!
