Stephen Sondheim - I Remember, arr. Robert Page

[carlos3765]

The arrangement is overwrought for my taste, but the chorus sounds good. I noticed a few loose "t"s lurking about. It is such a beautiful song, it should have been arranged simply - especially with all those luscious chords Sondheim gave us. I believe it is completely acceptable and appropriate for a chorus to sing a song written for a single person. Greek drama is full of this notion, and it is so often practiced that I find this criticism ridiculous.

I had the privilege of singing this arrangement conducted by Page himself. I don't believe I ever got through the whole thing without getting emotional.

Wow. That's all I can say. It sounds enormously gorgeous in a chorus.

ubelievably gorgeous - exquisite. as ned rorem said, after hearing it sung at new york's YMHA during a sondheim interview, "that's the most beautiful song i've ever heard."

Hauntingly beautiful as a choral piece.

Interesting take. Everyone's entitled to their opinion...

Nice performance. Gorgeous, warm choral sound. Unfortunately, some songs just shouldn't be arranged for chorus. This piece is about one character's memories and recollection of a past life. Doesn't work as an octavo. It was also taken painfully slow. Love the song, and I appreciate the artistry of this chorus, but what a bad idea!

oh, well it was clean until the boys section and some of the "t"s, but still great

[borne4broadway]

WOW! This choir is so clean, precise, perfect
