E9: Rachmaninoff Theme

Frank Freniere · From: The First Coast

"The moon is full, my arms are empty ..." So sang Natalie Maines on the 1999 Dixie Chicks song "Cold Day In July."

Which is a lyrical riff copped from the 1945 recording of "Full Moon and Empty Arms" by Frank Sinatra.

The melody of which was borrowed from a theme in the third movement of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto which premiered in 1901.

Click HERE for that melody.
