How to Play For All We Know (Carpenters) on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About For All We Know

#

Not to be confused with the 1934 pop standard of the same title, this “For All We Know” was written for the 1970 film Lovers and Other Strangers and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Fred Karlin composed the music. The Carpenters released their version in 1971, and Karen Carpenter’s warm, unhurried lead turned it into one of their best-loved recordings.

For the ocarina, this is one of the friendlier contemporary tunes to begin with. It stays within a ninth, from low C up to the D above, and leans on plain natural notes with no awkward sharps or flats to half-hole. The stepwise phrases make it good practice for smooth, even breath.
