Product Description
Stephen Sondheim writes such beautiful and intricate music. His lyrics are even better. Many of his pieces are instrumental-only-worthy, and I think this is one of them. This song comes from the musical "Company," and is sung by 3 women who are dating the same man. The songs starts off like this:
You could drive a person crazy,
You could drive a person mad.
First you make a person hazy
So a person could be had,
Then you leave a person dangling sadly
Outside your door,
Which could only make a person gladly
Want you even more.
Even without the lyrics, this is quite a delightful song, and this arrangement is scored for piccolo, 4 C flutes, alto, bass, contrabass, and optional upright string bass. The upright bass may be substituted by any C instrument in the bass clef range.
Everyone gets to play the melody at one time or other. The swinging tempo is just shy of allegro, and not difficult to play. This would be a great piece to play for any occasion.
