Free Music Notes for Showtunes
Free Music Review: Funny and pretty much fun
Hit: 5 Stars
It had been a while since I'd purchased or heard any new Stephin Merrit and was totally unaware of Showtunes existence until a week or so ago. The price was right so I gave it a shot and am happy to say that Mr. Merrit's well has not run dry. Melody and humor still reign in Merrit's world and we're all the richer for it.
Showtunes Poster
Showtunes features pieces from Magnetic Fields songwriter Stephin Merritt's scores for three recent theatrical productions, all collaborations with Chen Shi-Zheng: The Orphan of Zhao, My Life as a Fairy Tale, and Peach Blossom Fan. Chen, who has gained considerable renown for his bravura 19-hour staging of the Chinese classic "Peony Pavillion" at the 1999 Lincoln Center Festival, was born in Hunan, China; currently based in New York, he has collaborated with such artists as Meredith Monk and Tan Dun.Alternative Rock Music CDs
