Vocal parts are NOT doubled in the piano and the accompaniment follows the original piano part pretty closely. Vocal parts are written out for each character and some dialog is included.Over all, this is a great Vocal Selections book. Too bad about the missing songs, though.
This is a wonderful book. The songs are in their original key and sound exactly like they do from the show! The music is beautiful and I use mine SO frequently!
Recently purchased this book, and love it dearly. It has most of the songs, almost all, and I think the idea was to include songs that could be taken out of context and therefore useful to a singer... My Psychopharmacologist and I wouldn't really be useful unless one was specifically doing that scene from the show. Also, the book isn't the indigo color it appears to be in the above picture, it's actually the same color as the poster, so don't worry. The songs are in no apparent order, but very complete. An excellent purchase -- there are so many songs, you definitely get your money's worth!
This is a high quality recording accompanied by written narrative of the play, so even if the listener has not seen the play, the songs on the soundtrack are still in context .I would recommend this to anyone who has been fortunate enough to see any production of this musical and to anyone who struggles or knows someone who struggles with mental illness. I only hope the play itself comes out on DVD eventually and that will offer it for sale.
I bought this vocal selections book shortly after listening to the soundtrack of the Original Cast. I was let down because it doesn't contain ALL of the songs from the show. In fact, the reason I bought it was so I could perform a song from it for my senior recital in college, but the song I wanted wasn't in there. Aside from that, it is great. It's easy to see which character sings which part and the page turns are fairly easy. All in all it was a good buy!
This book is a very satisfying and fun book to play with excellent transcriptions of the fabulous music from this brilliant musical. A rare gem of arrangement, in which rock songs don't just feel like a pulsing chord in the left hand and a melody in the right hand. The only downside to this book is the glaringly obvious absence of several major songs from the show. The most painful removal was "Make Up Your Mind/Catch Me I'm Falling", but several others are missing as well. Overall, however, this book is definitely worth your money and will make an excellent addition to any Broadway lover's music collection!
Piano score is NOT the main melody with some silly harmony like most PVG books out there. Is is the real piano arrangement
This book came very quickly in the mail and was packaged correctly. I found the selections were good. There were only a few song I wish they had included, but I understand why they were not. One thing that I especially like it the print and staff are bold and easy to read.
