Words and music by Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve, formerly known as Phyllis Eve Weiler

My name when I wrote this song was Phyllis Eve Weiler. I dropped the "Phyllis" from my name when I married Mr. Adam. The notes you see here were chosen by me when I was a young stay-at-home mother composing at my piano. First I settled on the sounds I wanted and made a rough draft of the song. Then I painstakingly wrote on pre-lined music paper each note by hand, using a special pen and India Ink. The pages have now yellowed through time. Many years have passed between the time I placed each note and today when I scanned each image. Children grow up; grandchildren grow up. The music just sits there in a drawer. It is time to share. Even the methods available for sharing have changed since it was first my hope that many people would sing my songs. Now I have scanned the original pages, using my scanner attached to my computer. I have sent these images from my computer by e-mail to myself at my MSN TV address. I am writing this using my television set instead of a monitor. The actual computer recording the keystrokes I type on my wireless keyboard is many miles away, maintained by my ISP. I am making this web site by using MSN TV's Page Builder site creation tool. This is the same way I have already made many more pages containing poems, lyrics, photos, graphics, word pictures of my thoughts and memories, and yes, even other sheet music compositions I wrote long ago.

Use your computer's printer to make copies for your own use. In 1961 I applied for and received a Library of Congress copyright on this song. It was then classified as "Unpublished." Now I am publishing it on the Internet and inviting you to make copies. I hope that you will enjoy singing it or at least playing it on the piano. The piano part is not as complete as the piano part in my "Afterglow: A Piano Suite With Optional Lyrics." This means some of the melody notes in this song will be missing without a person's voice, but you may still find the harmonies interesting even with only the piano part. Caution: Be careful to apply the key signature accurately, or you could end up with a totally different sound than it was meant to have. Also, although two beats per measure are indicated, counting six beats per measure when you are first learning the song might make it easier to concentrate on getting the correct notes, in both pitch and relative duration. You will probably be able to print from your computer legible copies with large notes if you use the "landscape" setting for your printer. The normal size paper (8 1/2" by 11") should be adequate. Each page in this site can be printed separately, since each has its own URL. Each page here represents half of a page in the original India Ink copy. The background color will not show in your printed copies if you have normal printer settings. If you want to print from your MSN TV set-top box instead of a computer, you may get smaller notes on a page that is automatically set up as "portrait" instead of the preferred "landscape" orientation. In granting permission for printing from your computer, I am including permission to use a printer connected by set-top box (receiver) if that is your choice.

The original inspiration for this song was something my grandmother Bebe told me about her childhood. To read "Trivia Question and Answer" on the first page of my "Harmony of Life" web site, click on the link below. The link will take you to the page where I describe Bebe's childhood memory. The clickable table of contents on that same page can also connect you to the lyrics of this song in case you want to print them separately from the sheet music. Suggestion: Click on the link below, scroll down to read "Trivia Question and Answer" (toward the bottom of the page) then scroll back up part way to find the "Crying for the Moon Man" link. It is the first song listed in the "Lyrics by Eve" section of the Clickable Table of Contents, within the "Harmony of Life" web site.

Use either the "next page" links at the bottom right of each page or the links in the list below to see scanned copies of the original manuscript. These images may load slowly, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. The links immediately below may help you navigate more quickly to a view of a specific manuscript page's top half. Use the "next page" links at the bottom right of each computer page for a view of the bottom half of the corresponding manuscript page. There is no link listed for page 1 because you would just click on "next page" from where you are now to reach it.
