Terrific arrangements of great songs,
By
This review is from: The Kander & Ebb Collection (Paperback)
Finally, a large songbook of great Broadway music that doesn't have simplified arrangements! That is the single most important thing that any customer needs to know about purchasing this songbook - many songs don't have the vocal lines in the piano part (some do, but that's because John Kander wrote them that way, I'm assuming.)The only thing wrong with this songbook is that it's too short. There are a few rarities (from The Visit and Curtains), but there are an awful lot of standards that I'm sure many of us already own sheet music for. I wish more Kander and Ebb songs were available in this format. Heck, I wish all of the great Broadway composers would come out with songbooks in this format. But this is a great start, and by buying it, we can encourage future similar releases.

Bravo Kander & Ebb,

This review is from: The Kander & Ebb Collection (Paperback)
It is so sad to know that Fred Ebb will never write another lyric. This collection of so many incredible songs from this wonderful duo is a great resource. It's fabulous to have all these songs in one place. Truly a dynamic team of beautiful, touching, often hilarious musical writing. These songs are written with the singer in mind and, while often challenging, are always vocal. They also demand acting skills - something too often missing from contemporary composers. Bravo!
