Maria (1957)
Music by Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990)
Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim (1930 - 2021)
With the recent passing of the great Broadway composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, and the new motion picture of "West Side Story" directed by Steven Spielberg I've been playing through this music again.
This really gets to show some of the quiet beauty of the American Classic sample set..... including the Clarinet, French Horn, Strings, Voxes, Solo Flute, and Harps.
"The most beautiful sound I've ever heard....... Maria!"
