Water Under The Bridge - Unsung Sondheim

Показать описание

Performed by: Debbie Shapiro Gravitte

Composed for a currently "on-hold" movie musical titled Singing Out Loud that Sondheim has completed with screenwriter William Goldman for producer/director Rob Reiner, "WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE" is sung in a recording studio by a woman performing for the movie soundtrack (Singing Out Loud is a movie about making a movie). As conceived, the number is actually a trio, with the singer and the song's composer (in the control booth) both singing their thoughts in counterpoint to the actual song, but only the main body of the number, the song the composer wrote, is presented here. "It's in a Contemporary pop style," Sondheim says. "The script has a pop songwriter called in to write some pop songs for the movie. That's why I wrote it that way."
