Chorus Line, A Vocal Score [Paperback] Review

This isn't "sheet music" for the songs on the cast album, this is the ENTIRE vocal score.This is a reduction rather than an arrangement; the full orchestral score was reduced to one piano with a number of extra notes added showing where you would throw in other instruments.This is more difficult and comprehensive than the "Piano/Vocal/Guitar" arrangement, also sold by the same publisher.But go ahead and try those challenging notes, because look what you get!

*Every* piece of incidental music in the show is included here.That means all the lead-ins to songs, not just the songs themselves.That means all the spoken cues to start the music.The filler songs "And" and "The Tap Combination" are included.The full version of "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen" is here.Both versions of "One" are here for your enjoyment; the "rehearsal" version (where the actors recite the dance steps, count the beat, and sing the song in a brilliant 4-part arrangement) and the finale used for curtain calls (which includes the countermelody "She walks into a room..." that turns into a terrific interwoven melody for verse 3, followed by fantastic 4-part harmony reprise in verse 4).

The 96-page "sheet music" (Hal Leonard SBN: 088188068X) does not have any of this detail.It features the same pieces in the cast album but only one version of One, which skips both the rehearsal thoughts and the final verse with harmony.It also severely truncates such great hits such as Hello Twelve (which has four parts) and "The Music and the Mirror" (which has an extended musical section where Cassie does her mirror dance).The Vocal Score, this product right here, has ALL that detail.

Don't be confused by the incorrect "look inside" for this product.It shows the identical contents of thePiano/Vocal/Guitar version I mentioned above, and that is NOT what you get with the Vocal Score.It really is over 200 pages of material, and that's why it costs so much more.And it is WORTH IT.

If you just want to play a few of your favorite songs from the show, buy the shorter, easier, and less expensive version.But if you want to capture every element of Marvin Hamlisch's score, if you just love everything about this show and want to recapture the music, THIS is the one to buy.

NOTE: There is something wrong with Amazon's handing of this product.This review is appearing for both the VOCAL SCORE product and the PIANO/VOCAL/GUITAR product.This is probably the same bug giving the wrong "Look Inside" information for the vocal score.However, if you buy the vocal score, they will ship you the correct product.

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!
