C'est Moi (from "Camelot"): Piano/Vocal/Chords

This collection gives singers and pianist-accompanists access to a range of character types and vocal styles from Broadway's golden age, all within a single resource. "C'est Moi" itself is a showcase for confident legit tenor singing, making it especially valuable for teaching how a villain's song can carry theatrical conviction and musical sophistication without apology.

Stepping into the world of mid-century Broadway glamour and melodrama. Loewe's music carries both romantic sweep and theatrical flair; "C'est Moi" bristles with chivalric pride and self-aware humor, inviting performers to embrace the character's unapologetic confidence while maintaining vocal control and legit technique.

Singers preparing audition material or working on character songs from the American songbook, and accompanists building a library of Broadway standards at an accessible level. This folio works well for high school and community theater singers, voice teachers seeking vocally mature repertoire, and pianists accompanying musical theater classes or recitals.

• Balance the piano accompaniment so the vocal line stays prominently featured; Loewe's orchestrations are lush, but the song's power depends on clarity of text and melody.
• Shape the melody with the character's arc in mind. Lancelot's swagger should come through in your phrasing and energy, especially on the boastful passages.
• Work the chord symbols as a learning tool if you're accompanying yourself; understanding the harmonic movement underneath the vocal line will sharpen your interpretive choices.

Pair this with other character songs from the same show or era to build a recital exploring hero and villain archetypes in musical theater. It also serves as an excellent audition piece for singers developing their legit belt and sustained vocal line, and the piano/vocal format makes it practical for rehearsal, lesson, and performance settings.

• Singing sustained legit lines with clarity of text and consistent vocal placement
• Accompanying while managing dense harmonic textures and keeping the vocal line in focus
• Interpreting character through song structure and melodic contour
• Reading and performing from chord symbols in a piano/vocal score
