This song is entirely built around those piano chords where Joni plays very simple major or minor triads in the right hand but then counters it, often with a second, in the left, creating a totally new chord with very complex tonalities, and without getting her fingers twisted in a knot (analogous to the guitar tunings).>> ChuckE--
Jericho is my favorite joni song of all time. Long ago, when I was still playing the piano, i worked out an arrangement (different from the one in the book for DJRD, closer to the one heard on MoA); but I've had little or no access to a piano for years, and the neuropathy makes it hard to type, much less play. Someday I'll have to put it together and get some sheet music and go at it again. Oh, I also worked out an interesting, slow arrangement for The Last Time I Saw Richard. Ah, the good old days. warmly, walt
