| I love love love what is called on the Encores 1995 recording "Ballet--Joey Looks Into the Future" from Pal Joey. Not sure if that's what it was called in the original. In fact, many of the songs in this show transition into dance/instrumental sections before ending. I love them all but the Joey Ballet is my favorite. Everybody loves to hate Cats, but I think The Jellicle Ball is a lot of fun. :-) It was called "Chess" in the London production and was then featured as part of the Endgame in the Broadway production with lyrics added. If you know what I mean. The extended instrumental section in Folies Bergeres from Nine. It doesn't have a name, but the finale of Steel Pier from the time he says "you still owe me a dance" until the end. In a similar vein the end of Titanic. It's a short musical interlude as it transitions from the survivors into the final tableau where they rejoin those who have died, before they start the reprise of "sail on". Also short, about the last 1:20 of the Danced With a Girl track of Marie Christine. Beautiful piano, close dissonant chords, plus lush orchestra. |
