SondheimSunday Ep.12 - I Remember
I Remember
(Evening Primrose)
Duet Arranged and Piano: @scpday
Vocals: @gwen.lyon and @rubydubylyon
I am so happy to share this duet arrangement of the beautiful song originally a solo from Evening Primrose. One of the wackiest plots Sondheim has worked with, a store where the mannequins come to life after closing, but nevertheless he has delivered some gems of musical theatre that everyone can appreciate.
“I remember sky, it was blue as ink. Or at least I think, I remember sky? I remember snow, soft as feathers, sharp as thumb tacks, coming down like lint. And it made you squint when the wind would blow.
I remember leaves (I remember trees)
Green as spearmint (Bare as coat racks)
Crisp as pape...

Sondheim Sunday Ep.11 - Losing My Mind
Просмотров 394 года назад
Losing My Mind (Follies) Piano: @scpday Vocals: @gwen.lyon This song breaks my heart every time I hear it, and each performer always seems to find a different interpretation of it that connects personally to them - bravo Sondheim. It is a pleasure to finally get around to recording it. “The sun comes up, I think about you. The coffee cup, I think about you. I want you so, it’s like I’m losing m...
Sondheim Sunday Ep.10 - A Glamorous Life
Просмотров 744 года назад
A Glamorous Life (A Little Night Music) Piano: @scpday Vocals: @gwen.lyon What is originally used in the stage musical as an ensemble song to move time forward, Sondheim rewrote this as a solo version for the movie version in 1978 starring Elizabeth Taylor. It is a masterclass of subtext, as a little girl deals with the conflicting emotions of missing her mother but wanting to be proud of her. ...

What Can You Lose? (Dick Tracy) Vocals: @gwen.lyon Piano: @scpday Tasked by film composer Danny Elfman, Sondheim composed a collection of 5 songs for the comic book movie ‘Dick Tracy’. Madonna played the female lead and Sondheim was awarded an Oscar for the Best Original Song ‘Sooner or Later’. “What can you lose? Only the blues. Why keep concealing everything you’re feeling? Saying it to him.....
Sondheim Sunday Ep.8 - Anyone Can Whistle Reprise
Просмотров 824 года назад
Anyone Can Whistle Reprise (Anyone Can Whistle) Vocals: @gwen.lyon Piano: @scpday Another one of Sondheim’s earlier shows, it never got glowing reviews but the score has been assimilated into his canon of works along with other songs including There Won’t Be Trumpets. This was also Angela Lansbury Broadway/Sondheim debut - without which maybe her Mrs Lovett would never have existed. “Anyone can...
Sondheim Sunday Ep.7 - What More Do I Need?
Просмотров 414 года назад
What More Do I Need? (Saturday Night) Vocals: @gwen.lyon Piano: @scpday Saturday Night was written at the start of Sondheim’s career and he has frequently dismissed it as a poor piece of musical theatre, however, there are some hidden gems to be found and also provides a glimpse of his earlier writing style as he finds his iconic sound. “Someone’s shouting for quiet, someone’s starting a brawl,...
Sondheim Sunday Ep.6 - Another Hundred People
Просмотров 1194 года назад
Another Hundred People (Company) Vocals: @gwen.lyon Piano: @scpday As George Furth wrote in the book for company, ‘I think there’s a time to come to New York and a time to leave’. Sondheim’s ability to translate his environment through music is never more evident than here as we witness one persons view of life in New York City. “Another hundred people just got off the train and came up through...
Sondheim Sunday Ep.5 - We Do Not Belong Together

We Do Not Belong Together (Sunday In The Park With George) Vocals: @gwen.lyon Piano: @scpday This song is an earlier glimpse into what eventually becomes the duet ‘Move On’. While Sondheim and Lapine once again played with the musical theatre form, he gave us some of his most beautiful lyrics. “You are complete, George, You are your own. We do not belong together. You are complete, George, you ...
Sondheim Sunday Ep.4 - Now You Know
Просмотров 634 года назад
Piano: @scpday Vocals: @gwen.lyon Now You Know (Merrily We Roll Along) While one of Sondheim’s biggest flops, closing after 16 performances, it has now become a cult classic with its unique storytelling, addictive score and complex characters. “Okay, there you go. That’s the sum of it, now you know. t's called flowers wilt, It's called apples rot, It's called theives get rich and saints get sho...
Sondheim Sunday Ep.3 - Loving You
Просмотров 514 года назад
Piano: @scpday Vocals: @gwen.lyon Loving You (Passion) While Passion isn’t one of Sondheim’s most widely known musicals, for me this song is one of his most beautiful. “Loving you is not a choice it’s who I am, loving you is not a choice and not much reason to rejoice. But it gives me purpose, gives me voice to say to the world , ‘this is why I live; you are why I live.’ Loving you is why I do ...
Sondheim Sunday Ep.2 - Broadway Baby

Piano: @scpday Vocals: @gwen.lyon Broadway Baby from ‘Follies’ “I’m just a Broadway Baby, walking off my tired feet, pounding Forty Second Street to be in a show. Broadway Baby, learning how to sing and dance, waiting for that one big chance to be in a show. Gee, I’d like to be on some marquee, all twinkling lights, a spark to pierce the dark from Battr’y Park to Washington Heights. Working for...

Every Sunday myself and Gwen Lyon will be performing a one minute(ish) segment from our favourite Sondheim songs. “What do you leave to your child when you’re dead? Only whatever you put in it’s head. Things that your mother and father had said which were left to them too. Careful what you say. Guide them but step away, chi...

Piano Accompaniment 'For Forever' from Pasek and Paul's "Dear Evan Hansen" Lyrics: End of May or Early June This picture perfect afternoon we shared Drive the winding country road Grab a scoop at A La Mode And then we're there An open field that's framed with trees We pick a spot and shoot the breeze Like buddies do Quoting songs by our favorite bands Telling jokes no one understands Except us ...
