Move on from Sunday in the Park with George
An evening pause: Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin sing “Move On” from Steven Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George.
Stop worrying where you’re going.
Move on.
If you can know where you’re going,
You’ve gone.
Just keep moving on.
I chose and my world was shaken.
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not.
You have to move on.
Some enchanted evening
An evening pause: The simple, poetic words of Oscar Hammerstein to the music of Richard Rogers, sung by Brian Stokes Mitchell at Carnegie Hall, 2005.
Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons.
Wise men never try.
Who will buy?
OKLAHOMA! OK! – Hugh Jackman 1999
Someone in a tree
An evening pause: From Stephen Sondheim’s Pacific Overture, the song “Someone in a Tree,” from the 1976 Broadway production.
It’s the fragment, not the day
It’s the pebble, not the stream
It’s the ripple, not the sea
That is happening.
Not the building but the beam
Not the garden but the stone
Only cups of tea
And history
And someone in a tree.
Tell me on a Sunday
An evening pause: Sarah Brightman again, this time singing “Tell me on a Sunday,” a lovely song from the musical Song & Dance.
