I am bringing in the sheet music for Not While I'm Around from Sweeney Todd, and was wondering: If anyone has the music, what is the highest note in the song. I am a tenor and can sing up to a B.

It's a G. For you, it should be no problem.

I just checked my score, and it has the top note as being Ab (which is what I always thought it was, anyway). Where did you get G from?

Im a baritone, but my music for that song was lowered to an F, but I am not sure if the original is g or a.

When Manoel sings it in the revival, the top note is a G, but almost all the sheet music I've seen has it going to an A flat. I also have sheet music that is much lower, with the top note being an E flat, I think.
