| As performed by Oscar Hammerstein. General Book (not sheet music). 6x9 inches. 292 pages. Published by Hal Leonard. (HL.00183452)
This volume, edited by William Hammerstein, encompasses lyrics from Oscar Hammerstein's entire canon; from the early Indian Love Call written in 1924 with Otto Harbach and Rudolph Friml, to his final song, Edelweiss, written with his long-time collaborator Richard Rodgers in 1959. Oscar Hammerstein's introduction, Notes on Lyrics, has been an acknowledged classic text for musical theatre enthusiasts since 1949 and remains a definitive work today. To say Oscar Hammerstein II made a significant contribution to the art of lyric-writing is understating the case. He, with his lyrics, and his collaborators, with their music, rewove the fabric of the musical theatre for all time. Customers who bought this item also bought:
