This is a classic Italian song written by Domenico Modugno in 1955.
Many different versions have been recorded - this structure comes from his original one.
Enjoy!
P.S.: "frac" is the correct name of the dress, not "frack", and thus it was titled.
Vecchio Frac - Domenico Modugno

Hello.
Famous Italian song by Maurizio Fabrizio, words by Bruno Lauzi.
Almeno Tu Nell'Universo - Maurizio Fabrizio
Live freely. Respect the planet.
"More" is the musical theme of the undistinguished 1962 Italian film Mondo Cane. It was very popular with adult audiences in the 1960s; I played it at virtually every gig I did back then. It is a piece of very limited musical interest with 5 8-measure sections (AABAB'). The harmonic content is mostly I-vi-ii-V. Why do I post this arrangement? Because if you play for Senior Citizens, as I do, you should play this tune for them, tipping your hat to their memories of half-a-century ago.
A lead sheet for "More" can be found in a Hal Leonard publication: The Real Ultimate Jazz Fake Book (this really is the title, not to be confused with other Hal Leonard fake books).
I play it at 90 bpm using the Latin - Cuba: Bolero style.
More - Oliviero, Ortolani, Ciorciolini

"Al di là" (= Beyond) was a popular Italian song in the 1960s and is still a favorite in the Italian-American community. It was premiered in 1961 and was featured in the 1962 film Rome Adventure. It has a standard 32-bar ABAC structure. My arrangement includes a short tag ending.
A clip from Rome Adventure with Emilio Pericoli singing the tune (and a lovely young Suzanne Pleshette listening) can be found on Youtube. I play the tune with the Latin - Cuba: Bolero style at 100 bpm.
This is the first of five Italian favorites that I will be posting. I prepared the chord charts for these tunes after receiving a request to include some Italian songs in my playlist for a solo piano gig. "Al di là" and the others were well received, with many of the audience singing along.
Al di la - Carlo Donida
