Defying Gravity – Easy Piano Sheet Music in PDF

Defying Gravity is a song from the musical Wicked, created by American director and composer Stephen Schwartz in 2003. The musical, based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, explores the story of the characters of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, before the events of the classic The Wizard of Oz. Defying Gravity is sung by the character of Elphaba at a decisive moment in the play, at the end of the first act. The song marks a turning point in the history of the musical, as Elphaba decides to rebel against society’s norms and expectations. She realizes that she has the power to choose her own path and assert herself, even if it means going against the forces that oppress her. The song’s lyrics express Elphaba’s determination to move beyond the limitations imposed on her and free herself from the constraints weighing down on her. Defying Gravity is a powerful hymn to independence, inner strength and the will to face adversity. The song has become extremely popular and emblematic of Wicked. Today, it is played by many amateur pianists, who learn to play it via numerous piano arrangements published on the Internet.
