There Goes My Everything

There Goes My Everything rhythm arrangement by Bill Fulton is scored for 2 keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. The instrumentation creates a full musical setting while keeping the ensemble compact and practical for live performance.

There Goes My Everything Rhythm Arrangement

“There Goes My Everything” has moved between country and traditional popular music. Engelbert Humperdinck helped bring the song to a broad international audience. Its clear melody and emotional character provide strong material for an arranged live performance.

Two keyboard parts give this version added harmonic range and texture. Guitar provides another musical layer. Meanwhile, bass and drums establish the foundation and help guide the dynamics and pacing of the arrangement.

Scored for 2 Keyboards, Guitar, Bass and Drums

Using two keyboardists creates possibilities that are not available in a standard four-piece rhythm section. Each keyboard can occupy a different range or serve a different function. That leaves room for the guitar to contribute without crowding the texture.

Bill Fulton has written arrangements and orchestrations for ensembles ranging from small groups to full orchestras. More of his work can be found on the Arrangements, Compositions & Commissions page.
