This review is from: Rent: Movie Vocal Selections (Piano/Vocal) (Paperback)
I don't know what to say. I was ecstatic to find my purchase of this product in the mail today, and I was very eager to sit down at the piano and play. I'm a little disappointed that this songbook is much like most songbooks out there. It doesn't stand out a whole lot. The melody is written in the accompaniment, but when I select music, I prefer accompaniment that sounds original, not a duplicate of what's being sung. It seems distracting.I am however pleased that everything was kept in their original key signature as far as I can tell, even if that makes it harder for some to play. The graphics are a nice addition, and I am very satisfied with the number of songs included in this songbook. So, on that note, I still absolutely love RENT, and I am sure I will continue to. Maybe my expectations were too high? I'm not sure, but maybe it would be a good idea if a version of this songbook were released with the original accompaniment.

Quality Transcription,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rent: Movie Vocal Selections (Piano/Vocal) (Paperback)
This is a quality piano book that transcribes the orchestration to piano notation without "dumbing down" the composers musical intent. The music, as is typical with piano/vocal books, carries the melody along with the accompanyment and the bass line seems to play true to the CD/movie. If you enjoy the music from Rent and are an average to above average piano player, you will be able to sit down and play through the songs in short order.

This review is from: Rent: Movie Vocal Selections (Piano/Vocal) (Paperback)
Almost bought the broadway vocal book that I saw at Borders...there were not a great amount of selections. I congratulated myself when I came home...looked on Amazon...found the movie soundtrack vocal book and there were way many more selections...and it was a better price than the first one?? so any rent fan would be very happy with this bood. THe one drawback is the "Love heals" song which wasn't part ofthe original...Just don't love that song and Goodbye Love is not there but practically everything else is....you'll be very happy with this book.
