Displaying all reviews (4)I love the movie "Awakenings" and Randy Newman's music for it is wonderful. "Dexter's Tune" is fun to play and not very hard for the intermediate-level player. Well worth the money!

A wonderful song written by Randy Newman. This song was used in the movie Awakenings. It has such a beautiful melody that it makes you want to hear it over and over again.

This restless tune is true to the film "Awakenings" and a delight to play. I was surprisingly pleased that this arrangement is easier to play than it sounds. The argument between the minor chords and the major resolutions are a captivating story that will likely get stuck in your head. It is a delightful addition to a repertoire and a melody that feels familiar to listeners and can be played over and over again. It is a sad storyline, but captivatingly beautiful.
