Love Me Sweet
(arranged for Soprano & Piano)

This sheet music is licenced for 1 printed copy to Candice Reinhard. 11 Jul 2015.

CARL VINE

Love Me Sweet
from the incidental music to the Television Mini-Series The Battlers
arranged for solo voice and piano by the composer.

Program Note:
Love Me Sweet was written to accompany the romantic climax of the television mini-series
The Battlers (produced in 1993 for ATN Channel 7) based on the Kylie Tennant novel of the
same name. The song had to encapsulate an overwhelming sense of emotional fulfilment
while maintaining sufficient realism to remain true to Ms Tennants vision.
This is the only part of the film to use song, which arose from the temporary placement
during editing of a popular song at this point as an emotional marker during editing. The text
is freely adapted from the first two verses of Elizabeth Barrett Brownings poem, A Man's
Requirements. Ms Brownings poem is a marvel of economy and wit, with an ironic twist in
its tail that emerges only at the very end of the final verse. Words and phrases were changed
to assist vocalisation and comprehension, as well as to provide a more clearly adoring context
for the song.
