Free Music Notes for The Grass Harp (1971 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: A real charmer...
Hit: 5 Stars
THE GRASS HARP, based on the delicate Truman Capote novella and with music and lyrics by Claibe Richardson and Kenward Elmslie, was a spectacular bomb on Broadway, lasting a mere 7 performances in 1971. It was the usual story: a marvellous score doomed to oblivion by a weak book. Normally, a run of this length meant no cast recording, but the authors were determined, actually recording the music tracks in Germany and laying down the vocals later. Let's be grateful, for a score of particular lyrical and melodic beauty was preserved as a result.Even had the songs not been exceptional, this recording would still be worth owning since it features the incandescent Barbara Cook (seldom in better voice). In her hands lovely songs become listening treasures, especially "Chain Of Love" and "Reach Out". But the whole album features singing of a high standard, with other delights being Carol Brice's "Marry With Me", Russ Thacker's "Floozies", and Ruth Ford's very affecting "What Do I Do Now?". Max Showalter brings a wonderful vaudevillian touch to "Think Big Rich" too. Warm, tuneful, uplifting, THE GRASS HARP has long been a cult show. New owners of this recording will have no trouble understanding why. It's a real charmer.
