His lyrics have become synonymous with musical theater and popular culture, and here Sondheim has not only collected his lyrics for the first time, he is giving readers a rare personal look into his life as well as his remarkable productions. Along with the lyrics for all of his musicals from 1954 to 1981--including West Side Story, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music and Sweeney Todd--Sondheim treats us to never-before-published songs cut or discarded from each show. He discusses his relationship with his mentor, Oscar Hammerstein II, and his collaborations with extraordinary talents from Leonard Bernstein to Angela Lansbury. The anecdotes--filled with pointed observations and intimate details--transport us back to a time when theater was a major pillar of American culture. Best of all, Sondheim offers unparalleled insights into songwriting.--From publisher description. 000345611 60010 $$aSondheim, Stephen$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000345611 650_0 $$aMusicals$$zUnited States$$xAnalysis, appreciation. 000345611 650_0 $$aComposers$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000345611 650_0 $$aMusicals$$vExcerpts$$vLibrettos. 000345611 650_0 $$aSongs$$vTexts. 000345611 85200 $$bgen$$hML54.6.S69$$iS66$$i2010 000345611 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:345611$$pGLOBAL_SET 000345611 980__ $$aBIB 000345611 980__ $$aBOOK
