writing college people
When people ask me if musical theatre should be taught in music colleges, I reply that there is no need. All anyone needs to study is the second act of La Boheme because it is the most tightly constructed piece of musical theatre that there is. It is practically director-proof: you can't stage it badly because it just works too well. If you can write La Boheme, you can write anything. I would also recommend studying Britten's Peter Grimes.
summer communication night
Love can make a summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
successful thinking lucky
If you know what you want to do, as I always loved musicals, and then to have been lucky enough to be successful with them, I think that's all you can ask isn't it? I think I don't really think too much about it. I am a bit shy socially, yeah, I admit that.
differences ingredients lines
What strikes me is that theres a very fine line between success and failure. Just one ingredient can make the difference.
jesus thinking people
People in Britain always think of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' as a musical - it wasn't.
relationship thinking theatre
I guess we've had a very close relationship because I don't pretend to know about cinema and I think I do know a bit about theatre but he does, he respected that and so we really just had a collaboration which went completely like this.
writing care want
As a composer at a point where I can absolutely pick and choose what I want to do, I don't want to write about anybody I don't care about.
writing thinking piano
I often think of random melodies. And I pretty much hear in my head what I want to do with the orchestra as I'm writing on the piano.
night light faces
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor.Grasp it; sense it - tremulous and tender.Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night !
beautiful lying believe
Look with your heart and not with your eyes. The heart understands. The heart never lies. Believe what it feels, and trust what it shows. Look with your heart; the heart always knows. Love is not always beautiful, not at the start. But open your arms, and close your eyes tight. Look with your heart and when it finds love, your heart will be right.
mistake thinking ideas
Nobody seems to think it's a good idea to mention mistakes, but I think it's important to acknowledge the mistakes you've made in life, because it's really through those that you learn things. I've made hundreds....
believe matter catchy
No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do, no matter what they teach you, what you believe is true.
tragedy important world
We cannot arrive at Shakespeare's whole dramatic way of looking at the world from his tragedies alone, as we can arrive at Milton's way of regarding things, or at Wordsworth's or at Shelley's, by examining almost any one of their important works.
character order ideas
Nor does the idea of a moral order asserting itself against attack or want of conformity answer in full to our feelings regarding the tragic character.
