"A collection of songs from the musical stage, categorized by voice type. The selections are presented in their authentic settings, excerpted from the original vocal scores."
This book contains both well- known and unknown gems from the Musical Theatre world. I must say, the more unknown songs have been very useful to me! They include Christmas Lullaby (Songs for a New World), Whistle Down the Wind (Whistle Down the Wind), and Unexpected Song (Song and Dance). But there are many more! If you are looking for better known material, the book has that too!: Once Upon a Dream (Jekyll and Hyde), In His Eyes (Jekyll and Hyde), In My Own Little Corner (Cinderella), Just You Wait (My Fair Lady), My Favorite Things (Sound of Music), Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again (Phantom of the Opera), Think of Me (Phantom of the Opera), and Wouldn't It Be Loverly? (My Fair Lady). The reason that I didn't give this book 5 stars is that I felt it left out many great pieces. I'm aware that not every book can have everything, but there were anywhere from 5 to 10 songs that I found totally useless. However, overall, this book is a great addition to anyone's sheet music collection!
