Produktbeschreibung
Leonard Bernstein is perhaps best remembered as a composer, particularly of the musical "West Side Story", and for songs such as "America", "Tonight" and "Somewhere". The author takes a look at all eight of Bernstein's musical theatre works, from the early "On the Town", to his second and last opera "A Quiet Place" in 1983.
Helen Smith takes an in-depth look at all eight of Bernstein's musical theatre works and analyses them against a background of musical and social context, as well as looking at Bernstein's other orchestral, choral and chamber works. One important aspect examined is Bernstein's use of motifs in his theatre compositions. Smith provides an indispensable overview of the musical theatre works of an eclectic composer, and shows what it is that constitutes the Bernstein 'sound'.
