Songs for a New World: Piano/Vocal Selections [Paperback] Review

As a musical theatre musician, I am very happy that the people at Hal Leonard decided to publish this album with JRB's busy accompaniments instead of rearranging them into some dumbed-down "easy-play" version.As a word of caution, they might be too busy for a timid accompanist and I am in agreement with the reviewer below who states that you will need a good pianist to read these songs with you (and suggest that if you don't have one you go find one...and pay him/her well...now).This collection provides sheet music for about 2/3rds of the music in the show; each is presented in its full context.Are they overdone?Are they instant classics?Probably not for me to decide.

Like much of Mr. Brown's music, the songs provide a good study in rock pianism.

Product Description:
Composer Jason Robert Brown says of his debut musical, "It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back. The moment you think you know where you stand, the things that you're sure of slip from your hand, and you're suddenly a stranger in some completely different land." Our songbook features 10 vocal selections from the show: Christmas Lullaby * The Flagmaker, 1775 * Hear My Song * I'd Give It All for You * I'm Not Afraid of Anything * King of the World * The New World * She Cries * Stars and the Moon * Surabaya-Santa. Also includes an introduction by Brown.

In the Heights-Piano/Vocal Selections (Songbook) [Paperback] Review

A surprising number of songs are included here. The piano/vocal arrangements are fantastic, and very little is cut from the original show - even choral parts are kept the same, mostly. The only major exception is a slightly abridged version of the title song (not surprising though, given its length and dialogue segments). Many times the vocal selections score of a musical can be over-simplified or watered down, but it's clear that a lot of time and effort was spent putting together these arrangements to make them as authentic and true to the show as possible. Miranda's score is one of the best I have ever heard, and these arrangements have only increased my appreciation for it. A must-have for any ITH fan!

La Cage Aux Folles ~ Vocal Selections (Piano/Words/Guitar Chords) [Paperback] Review

A typical Hal Leonard publication, this contains Patrick Holland's (?) arrangements of all of the most important songs of the Broadway musical La Cage Aux Folles (not the Robin Williams film or the French original). From the songs on the original Broadway cast recording, only "Cocktail Counterpoint" is missing. Composer/lyricist Jerry Herman is perhaps more well-known, at least to older audiences, as the composer of Mame; these songs are rather in that same vein.
The keys of the pieces here are not always identical to those of the musical--the opening number "We Are What We Are", for example, begins in B major in the musical but is given in C major here. Surely the transposition is for ease of performance, but anyone looking to this to learn the show should be forewarned. The arrangements are not overly simplified and are a good representation for piano of the orchestral score. Chord symbols and guitar tablature are also included.
Songs included are "We Are What We Are", "A Little More Mascara", "With You On My Arm", "Song On The Sand", "La Cage Aux Folles", "I Am What I Am", "Masculinity", "Look Over There", and "The Best of Times".
About the songs themselves; the showstopper "I Am What I Am" has become a gay anthem of affirmation and is a gorgeous song with an important message regardless of one's sexual orientation. "La Cage Aux Folles", "Masculinity", and "We Are What We Are" are quite witty. "A Little More Mascara" is by turns poignant and funny. "Look Over There" and "Song on the Sand" are unconventional love songs, sentimental in a unique way. "The Best of Times" calls us to live and love for today, in a way reminiscent of Candide. Only "With You On My Arm" is a disappointment, and that only because it is rather average, with no particular appeal or sparkle, not because it is actively bad.
Along with the songs one gets a reproduction of the musical's poster on the cover and 13 full or half page black and white photographs of good quality, but not well labeled. Like the original cast CD's photos, if you don't already know which one is George Hearn and which one is Gene Barry, you won't find out here! The most remarkable of the photos is a rehearsal picture showing one of the male dancers in dress and heels (no wig) doing a 180 degree split kick in the standing position--one leg on the floor and the other fully extended over his head. How such a thing is possible without major structural damage I'm not sure, but I'm certainly in awe.

The Nutcracker: Complete Ballet for Solo Piano [Paperback] Review

This is a book I've been looking for for years: the original piano arrangement of the entire Nutcracker Ballet score. The score harbors many delightful pieces that are not included in the ubiquitous Nutcracker Suite, such as the music for the scene around the Christmas tree, Grandfather's Dance, the Pas de Deux, and the Valse Finale. The arrangements are by Taneeff, and revised by the composer. The score has been reprinted from a rare copy in 2005. The piano arrangement is playable for advanced amateur pianists (this is NOT a Nutcracker-made-easy version), and cleverly done: it has the feel of a piano score, not of a reduced orchestra score. (Nutcracker lovers familiar with the Concert version of the ballet music will find slight (and interesting) discrepancies, but the music from the Concert version is all there, albeit in a somewhat different order. The only funny part of the arrangement is that the upper register seems to have been left out in the complex music of the fight between the nutcracker and the mouse king.)

Product Description:
This piano solo of Tchaikovsky's masterful Christmas ballet offers pianists a chance to enjoy favorites such as "The Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy" and "The Waltz of the Flowers." Created by distinguished composer Sergey Taneyev at the time of the ballet's premiere, this delightful arrangement renders the complete ballet in a style that is both idiomatic to the piano and entirely faithful to Tchaikovsky's brilliant score. Here are all the movements of the beloved Suite, along with the rest of this holiday favorite. Unabridged republication of the Sergey Taneyev arrangement.
