Great Score! Great Show!
Street Scene is a wonderful show! Kurt Weill wrote a fantastic score to one of Elmer Rice's most famous works! There is some wonderful music in this score for each voice type: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass. Most of the repertoire is in more of an operatic style but some of the music is more similar to musical theater.

Score for School
I ordered this score to use in a production at my university.The score is great.The only real problem I have is that in the table of contents it doesn't list who is in each scene.

Street Scene Review
The score was delivered promptly and in great shape.It is very clear and easy to use. ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Helene Weigel (12 May 1900 in Vienna - 6 May 1971 in Berlin) was a distinguished German actress. She was the second wife of Bertolt Brecht, and together they had a daughter Barbara (b. 28-Oct-1930). The daughter of a Jewish lawyer, she became a Communist Party member from 1930 and Artistic Director of the Berliner Ensemble after her husband Brecht's death in 1956. Among the Brecht roles she is most noted for creating are: Pelagea Vlassova, The Mother of 1932, Antigone in Brecht's version of the Greek tragedy, the title role in his civil war play Señora Carrar's Rifles and, most famously, the iconic Mother Courage. Between 1933 and 1947, as a refugee from Hitler's Germany, she was seldom able to pursue her acting craft - even during the family's six-year stint in Los Angeles. It was only with the foundation of the Berliner Ensemble in the German Democratic Republic in 1949 that the brilliance of Brecht's theatre began to be recognised worldwide. She died in 1971, still at the helm of the comp...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Excerpt: Kurt Julian Weill (March 2, 1900 April 3, 1950) was a German, and in his later years American, composer active from the 1920s until his death. He was a leading composer for the stage. He also wrote a number of works for the concert hall. Kurt Julian Weill was born on March 2, 1900, the third of four children to Albert Weill (18671950) and Emma Weill née Ackermann (18721955). He grew up in a religious Jewish family in the "Sandvorstadt", the Jewish quarter in Dessau, Germany, where his father was a cantor. At the age of twelve, Kurt Weill started taking piano lessons and made his first attempts at writing music; his earliest preserved composition was written in 1913 and is titled Mi Addir. Jewish Wedding Song. In 1915, Weill started taking private lessons with Albert Bing, Kapellmeister at the "Herzogliches Hoftheater zu Dessau", who taught him piano, composition, music theory, and conducting. Weill performed publicly on piano for the first time in 1915, both as an accompanist and soloist. The following years he composed numerous Lieder to the lyrics of poets such as Eichendorff, Arno Holz, and Anna Ritter, as well as a cycle of five songs titled Ofrahs Lieder to a German translation of a text by Yehuda Halevi. Weill graduated with an Abitur from the Oberrealschule of Dessau in 1918, and enrolled at the Berliner Hochschule für Musik at the age of 18, where he studied composition with Engelbert Humperdinck, conducting with Rudolf Krasselt, and counterpoint with Friedrich E. Koch, and also attended philosophy lectures by Max Dessoir and Ernst Cassirer. The same year, he wrote his first string quartet (in B minor). Weill's family experienced financial hardship in the aftermath of World War I, and in July 1919, Weill abandoned his studies and retur... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=51097 ... Read more

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: "Mack the Knife" or "The Ballad of Mack the Knife", originally "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for their music drama Die Dreigroschenoper, or, as it is known in English, The Threepenny Opera. It premiered in Berlin in 1928. The song has become a popular standard. A moritat (from mori meaning "deadly" and tat meaning "deed") is a medieval version of the murder ballad performed by strolling minstrels. In The Threepenny Opera, the moritat singer with his street organ introduces and closes the drama with the tale of the deadly Mackie Messer, or Mack the Knife, a character based on the dashing highwayman Macheath in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. The Brecht-Weill version of the character was far more cruel and sinister, and has been transformed into a modern anti-hero. The play opens with the moritat singer comparing Macheath (unfavorably) with a shark, and then telling tales of his robberies, murders, rapes, and arson. The song was inserted in the play shortly before its premiere in 1928, because Harald Paulsen, who created the role of Macheath, wished a more effectful introduction of his character. The original German text is: At the 1928 premiere, the Moritat was sung by Kurt Gerron, who was a noted film and stage actor in Germany, and who also played the part of the Police Chief Brown. Weill also intended for the Moritat to be accompanied by a barrel organ, which was to be played by the singer. In the best known English translation, from the Marc Blitzstein 1954 version of The Threepenny Opera, which introd...http://booksllc.net/?id=285475 ... Read more
