What is the very last note that Elphaba sings in Defying Gravity and how long does she hold it for!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a D-flat 6!. The trill preceding it is between an E-flat 6 and a D-flat 6!. The value of the final D-flat is 7 beats!. The "length" (in terms of time) the note is held will depend on the tempo in which you perform the piece!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think there's an exact specific note because the music and everything just stops for about 2 seconds and she holds it for 4-8 seconds after that, so about 6-10 seconds I'd say!. The different Elphabas all seem to have a slight variation of the end riff in Defying Gravity!.

The note seems different to me, as well as how long they each hold it for!. Some are a tiny bit higher or lower (you can only tell when singing along most of the time) and the difference in how long they each hold it is also pretty subtle!.

also, because all the music just stops when she does the end note there isn't an exact specific note she has to hit along with it!. So the note would apply more to the '!.!.!.bring me down' than the 'aahhh'!.

Hope I was at least some help!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have no idea the note but my friend who was in the show says it depends on the performer for elphaba, but it is usually between 6-10 beats!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
