Book Reviews of Into the Woods (Vocal Score)
Book Review: Here are all those wonderful songs
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book for lovers of musical theatre, and the works of Stephen Sondheim in particular. Here are all the details of each wonderful song. Sondheim has woven together several fairy tales, with the characters interacting and all finding themselves "in the woods". By the end of Act 1 they've had their wishes come true, so in Act 2 we take a look at the consequences. Sondheim writes with great wisdom and insight into the human condition, mixing humour and drama intelligently with amazing melodies and accompaniments. If you're considering this book, you've not doubt already heard the soundtrack and watched the DVD. This Vocal Score is perfect to have in your hand as you listen to your recording and sing along.Book Review: Generous and Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Being one who always wanted to audition using the Witch's song or the Baker's Wife's song, I am delighted and grateful to Sondheim and Co. for putting out this amazing vocal score. The effort to do so must have been incredible. My only wish, not complaint, is that the chords were also represented by "C" or "Dmaj7" so that I could play along as I sing. I can read music, but if I have to play piano chords by sight only, it takes me days to finger it one note at a time. Well, that's probably my fault - practice, practice, practice! Anyway, it's quite a thorough job and now I have audition pieces galore! Only hope the accompanists can play it!Book Review: Re-published to perfection!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Into the Woods," originally produced on broadway over a decade ago, has recently been revived with the re-printing of the vocal score and instrumental parts. Using sophisticated software (Finale) the publisher has made the score easier to read, has added instrumental cues, and has made the print larger. The wonderful music of Stephen Sondheim from "Into the Woods," is much more accessable. (The purchase of the book does not give the buyer permission to perform the play!)This edition is very good -- hundreds of times better than the old one!Book Review: Great reference material
Summary: 5 Stars
The vocal score for "Into the Woods," while not practical for use at the piano due to the nature of the binding, is a terrific study aid for those interested in analyzing Sondheim's brilliant work. I recommend it to anyone wishing to enhance his or her understanding and appreciation of the piece.Book Review: grrrrreat!
