2.0 out of 5 stars No Lyrics!, July 21, 2006

By	K. McLaughlin (Quincy, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Sound of Music (Rogers & Hammerstein) (Paperback)

Be forewarned....while a perfectly good easy piano book, it has no lyrics so you can't sing along if you don't already know all the words!

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete vocal score to the theatrical version, May 10, 2006

By	Matthew Smedal (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the complete vocal score to Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Sound of Music." It contains all the vocal lines and underscoring from the theatrical-not the movie-version of the show. It's not ALL that different, but there are a few songs that were cut from the movie which are included here. Conversely, there are a few songs from the movie version which were not in the original stage version that are not included here. Other minor discrepancies between the two productions include the ordering of the songs "Climb Every Mountain," "Do-Re-Mi," and "My Favorite Things."

That being said, the actual score is the typical piano-reduction score as used by most musical productions. A complete list of characters is provided, though there is no discussion of their vocal ranges. A breakdown of the original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett is also included, as is a synopsis of scenes and a complete index of musical numbers. Instrumental cues are included throughout the score.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing..., November 19, 2008

By	OneWhoCares - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sound of Music (Rogers & Hammerstein) (Paperback)

This book is only "piano solo selections", it's written on the cover itself, only Amazon's "Look inside" hides it.

No lyrics, and no other instruments except the piano.
If piano is all you need, this one's for you. If you need more, stay away from this book.
