Sondheim is always a vocal challenge and this one is no different. But the rewards when you get it right - fantastic.
Katherine_McAuley_Watt
This is an amazing tenor song that is arranged very well, and can show off the tenor's voice beautifully. The quality of this piece is inspirational to listen to. When ever I hear this piece done, I want to cry because it is such a beautiful song and arrangement.
Broadway_Fan_Jared
I chose this song as a cabaret piece in my choir and the Music notes sheet music really helped me practice for the audition. Thanks Music Notes!
