Vocal Selections from Falsettos Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is the libretto for the musical "Falsettos" which is sung entirely, so unless you have the music, the book is incomplete.But for "Falsettos" lovers this is a must have.The music is a bit confusing with a lot of subtext.The book allows you to analyze each character to find the deeper meaning (and believe me, there is a lot of underlined meaning).The best part of the book is that it includes one version of "In Trousers" (which is vertually unavailable in a sound recording)."In Trousers" was the first of the three one-acts written and tells of Marvin's struggle with his sexuality when he was in high school.There are three versions of "In Trousers": the original, the revision, and a combination of both.This version is the combination.Perhaps "In Trousers" is the most insightful of all three shows, although it is the hardest to understand.If you like to analyze scripts, this one is a welcomed challenge.All three deal with the idea of homosexuality and family life.It is a funny, heart warming, heart wrenching story as you follow Marvin's struggle to accept his homosexuality and still maintain a relationship with his young son and (ex)wife.It has good family values and some beautiful ballads.One of my all time favorite musicals.A definite for any musical library.

Elegies A Song Cycle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An incredible collection spanning a wide variety of musical styles and emotions, all based around love and loss. The songs range from hysterically funny (Passover, My Dogs) to incredibly intimate and heartfelt (Anytime, Saying My Goodbyes). The piano reductions in the book have been rhythmically simplified from what is played on the soundtrack, but the chords are very specific and what is there is very good for the average player. Some of William Finn's best work!
