“Give My Regards to Broadway” is a Level 3A/3B piano arrangement of the classic Broadway song by George M. Cohan. It is written in 4/4 time and marked “Fast and bright.” The arrangement uses a clear vocal-style melody, left-hand chord support, slurs, optional pedal, dynamic contrasts, offbeat chords, tied notes, and a strong final ending. The music has an upbeat stage-song character, with the melody shaped around the familiar lyrics about Broadway, Herald Square, and Forty-Second Street.

Measures 1–8 introduce the main song. The right hand carries the melody while the left hand supports with simple chords and longer tones. The opening begins at mezzo-forte, and the optional pedal marking appears in the first phrase to help connect the broader harmonic sound.

Measures 9–16 continue the first half of the song. The melody moves through the line about Forty-Second Street and then reaches “I will soon be there.” The left hand adds more rhythmic motion near the end of the section, including offbeat chord punctuation under the held right-hand notes.

Measures 17–24 begin the second half at a softer dynamic. The melody returns in a similar shape, now marked piano for the line “Whisper of how I’m yearning.” The left hand continues with steady chord support, and the phrase builds toward the next return of the title text.

Measures 25–28 bring back “Give my regards to old Broadway.” The dynamic returns to mezzo-forte, and the texture becomes fuller with stronger left-hand chords. A crescendo leads into the final phrase.

Measures 29 to the end close the arrangement. The music reaches forte, with broad held chords and a final accented ending. The last phrase stretches out the words “I’ll be there ’ere long!” and finishes with a confident final chord.

Interesting fact: “Give My Regards to Broadway” comes from George M. Cohan’s musical Little Johnny Jones, which opened on Broadway in 1904. The show also included another famous Cohan song, “The Yankee Doodle Boy.”
