Does it seem surprising to anyone else that Sondheim had never heard It's Hard To Speak My Heart from Parade in its original form prior to participating in this exercise? I would assume given the pedigree of those involved with Parade (including Hal Prince, Lincoln Center, and the first broadway show an emerging new composer) that Sondheim would have seen the show or listened to the score. Wasn't he a Tony voter then?
Regardless, sounds like a fun exercise (I'm an amateur musician and love that sort of thing). I remember in high school stumbling across some Sondheim songs in a big fake book. It was one of my first glimpses into how the melody took on an entirely different life once harmonized. |
