Book Reviews of Myths and Hymns (Vocal Selections)
Book Review: YOWZERS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Caveat Empor! If you want to use this book, either find yourself an awesome pianist or killer singers!!! I usually play most musical theatre books singing and playing by myself at the same time, but this vocal selection book- I can barely hang on three. You will need to spend ample time woodshedding the piano parts and plunking out vocal lines to death to even remotely scratch the surface of this song cycle, but when you do, you will not be disappointed. Adam Guettel really envisioned something celestial when coming up with these pieces. My two favorites which are very pleasing to the ear(must be my pop roots coming out of me) are 'How Could I Lose You?' and "Hero and Leander". Mind you though, they are by no means conventional harmony, just easy to hum when you are done.
Also, this songbook has every song in the song cycle so that is a mega plus!!! Again, I can't emphasize enough this is a great work of art you should have in your collection even if it does stretch your abilities to uncharted terrain.
