Zia (my 1 year old daughter) and I ended our summer musical listening with this Sondheim book I bought back in 2006 for the "Invocation and Instructions to the Audience" from THE FROGS, but I had always suspected that there were more little gems inside; I just never explored it. We've been listening to a song a day since July; we listen to four different versions, if there are that many. A couple of gems we found were "Silly People" and "So Many People" from MARRY ME A LITTLE, and "Isn't It?" from YOU'RE GONNA LOVE TOMORROW. I do this with Zia to expose her to different genres of music, and the other added bonus is that I can find new music for my students. However, during this go around, I found music that I think I will use for my own repertoire.
