Customer Reviews

I great book for your music collection

My daughter loves this book and I love hearing her play from it. This book has lots more songs than other R & H music books currently available - even from the R & H musicals we never heard of. I don't think you'll be disappointed in this book.

Lots of Variety: You Will Find a Winner

I bought this book because I was auditioning for my very first musical (at a rather advanced age) and I wasn't sure of ALL the songs in history, which song would have the exact 20 bars of music I would need to ace my audition!In enters "The Rodgers and Hammerstein Collection" with a vast array of possibilities. With selections from some of the best known of their works such as "The Sound of Music", "South Pacific" and "Oklahoma", there are also selections from lesser known projects such as "State Fair" and "Pipe Dream."As for me, I ended up singing 20 measures from "A Lovely Night" from "Cinderella"... and I got the part.
