A Little Night Music Part 15/17 

Couldn't agree more✨…

AGREE💫

Nope, go to 4:07 and listen again. She clearly sings "passing by," and then she cracked on "and I shall marry the miller's son." Nice try though.

Can you sing as well?

Jarrel Brannon this is really late but i think that was on purpose

There’s much more to living than promiscuity

@@Book_Dragon2562 only to those who can't get laid.

Siri Hammond Renee Goldsberry from hamilton and rent did a great version of this, I'd give it a listen :)

The orchestration was actually done by Jonathan Tunick, a favorite Sondheim collaborator and one of the best in the business (he’s an EGOT).

yeah, awful.

@@TJRNYC 😂

I think so!!

Yes.

That may be. OTOH, the miller's son may very well be the one she really wants, which is a less predictable point. She knows it's what she'll likely fall into, but she can still make the most of things and have a basically happy life, knowing that investing too much into your disappointment can rob you of the happiness you can still have--a mistake I've made in my own life over and over again.

I didn't see it on Broadway, but I did listen to her (Larkin) on the cast album several times. Maybe it was different live. Although it was well performed, it felt kind of choppy, and I kept getting distracted by the varied placement of her vowels. To each their own, but I think Susan Terry's version has a better flow, and I prefer the joyousness; Yes, things could be better, but even those dreams have their drawbacks, and eventually she WILL pin her hat on a nice piece of property, and UNTIL THEN, she's going to enjoy her life.

wait whattt can you tell more

@@cherie..cherry In the musical’s 1973 premiere production, the actress playing this role was replaced just prior to opening. It’s a difficult song, and she wasn’t doing it to the director’s satisfaction. So whenever this song happens in “A Little Night Music,” I brace myself and think, “Oh god, this is the hard one! GOOD LUCK!!”

no

I love Sara as well and does a great rendition of the song as well, but I think that when it comes to singing, besides having good technique, what makes a performance memorable also having the ability to tell the story. Technique, connection, storytelling ability.

I watched Sara Ramirez's performance (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gi8vabJUeIM.html) and it's a very interesting comparison. Sara is a powerhouse performer and she makes the song her own in ways which she sells. Some of those ways, I buy…others, not so much. It's a "Lady of the Lake" "Miller's Son," with less subtlety and nuances than I think the music and lyrics call for. Night Music is a very specific style: Sondheim does operetta - and I love that Susan Terry trusts the material and sells it with coy understatement, more so than Ramirez's broader take on it.

No one touches the original Petra, D. Jamin-Bartlett.

Madame Dilettante I’m so sorry I was 14 when I commented this and for literally anything I just commented great...but Sara is better. Sorry in advance for my ignorance :(
