5.0 out of 5 stars Worth its weight in Gold, February 19, 2008

By	Z. "Musical Connoisseur" (Manitowoc, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This book is fantastic! It's not like alot of vocal selection books that just have the solo works, this had the multiple parts built into the staff to create the beautiful harmonies and chords that are affluent in the musical! Definately worth the wait! Reccomend it to anyone who knows the musical, or just wants to learn to sing such amazing music! I only wish they would have had the reprise in it. On a side note, on one of the songs I believe it is "Touch Me" some lyrics are not the same as whats heard on the soundtrack/lyrics on the cd insert, but it is no big deal seeing as they all flow with the music and it's only a line or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, Incredible, Life Changing, February 18, 2008

By	Ashley Mazur (Paullina, IA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have not yet seen the show and you are able to do so, see it. Drink it in. It is the strongest social commentary on repression of ALL people, not just teens, I have seen in a long time. Read the script. Discuss with your friends. It is as multifaceted as a diamond. It is the anthem to an era.

As a vocalist, I own the vocal selections to about 15 musicals I have enjoyed. Every time I get the same watered down vocal lines, removed harmonies, gross accompaniments and rhythms that seem to have been transcribed by a first year music theory student. Not so with this book. This book has the significant harmonies that can be heard on the soundtrack. It is truly a masterful transcription of a difficult score. All the songs you could want are there.

The best vocal selections I have in my possession.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Songbook!, March 4, 2009

By	Kayla M. Murray - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Before I purchased this item, I was continually looking for a list of all the songs included but never found one. Here it is!
Mama Who Bore Me
All That's Known
The B**** of Living
My Junk
Touch Me
The Word of Your Body
The Dark I Know Well
And Then There Were None
The Mirror-Blue Night
I Believe
Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind
The Guilty Ones
Left Behind
Totally F*****
Whispering
Those You've Known
The Song of Purple Summmer

The book does not include the Mama Who Bore Me reprise, nor reprise of The Word of Your Body.

Songs are arranged for piano, guitar, and vocals, including the harmonies heard on the Original Cast Recording.

Includes various production photos.

A good investment for any Spring Awakening Fan!
