Tbh I struggled with the added "unlimited" sequence at the end of DG but hearing actual Steven Schwartz play it and sing it and justify it... I'm sold.
I absolutely love hearing Wicked with a full orchestra, I love a pit orchestra as much as the next person but hearing it with no restraints and with AS MUCH LOW BRASS as possible. Absolutely fantastic
I want to watch a full master class of him talking about this show's music! 0:48 🎹 Love that theme and getting to see him play it on the piano! 2:42 Beautiful! D-flat Beethoven- 3rds in the bass Cool easter egg with Somewhere Over the Rainbow!
fun fact, he didn't write the iconic riff at the end "oh oh oh------", it was 100% Idina's idea
Yes, and she borrowed it from one of Celine Dion’s riffs from All By Myself
@@lonellfletcherOMG you are SO RIGHT! Just went back and listened!!!! Celine created this riff and rocks it!!!

Schwartz is a musical genius
Yes, he is. While we are celebrating the Wicked movie finally made and released, let's also give kudos to Godspell and Pippin!
He is a genius
Godspell, Pippin, Wicked….he’s written and composed 3 of the best musicals ever!!!!
Might wanna also add _The Prince of Egypt_ to that list as well.
Stephen Schwartz is A LEGEND!
I completely agree open chords are more emotional. I also use them in my compositions for this reason. Loved listening to him speak about his music.
I could hear him talk all day
I love how he referenced Beethoven; the respect and knowledge he has of classical music definitely translates into his own genius!
I never knew about the Somewhere Over The Rainbow thing with Unlimited, that's crazyyyyy
I’m such a music freak and Wicked Nerd and I can’t believe I missed it!!!! It’s amazing!
GENIUS! 💚🩷🫧🧹🧙♀️
He composed pocahontas music as well, wow he's talented
Schwartz is a musical genius!
Genius.
Thank you for this! Love to see composers give us some breakdown of their songs.
GENUIS
Oh I could listen to that man talk for SEVERAL hours uninterrupted
미쳤다 미쳤어... 진짜 천재 그자체...
First!
