[edit] Musical Breakdown

It seems to me that this section is POV and needs references and to be reworked. -Broadwaygal 18:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I took out some of the POV language and changed the heading. It's a start on an analysis of the piece. More could be said about the musical styles. A section could be added describing the main themes and characters discussed in the songs. Of course there could be more on how the piece came to be written, and more about productions. A google search should turn up more references with information. -- Ssilvers 01:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

This Phrase doesn't ring true..."The music of Songs for a New World is heavily influenced by a broad range of musical genres, including pop, gospel, jazz and classical music, making the work an example of musical pastiche." I disagree in that I don't think a work influenced by other styles makes it ipso facto a "pastiche" 70.18.63.191 (talk) 23:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Musical Numbers

I am wondering if anyone has an opinion about describing the "plot" of this piece? Each song is self-contained. I am wondering if each description should go next to the song, or in its own separate section? Thanks --Broadwaygal 18:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
