#1"Silly People" cut song from "A Little Night Music"
Posted: 12/31/06 at 5:41pmDoes anyone know if there is sheet music available for this song? I really like it. I just got Phillip Chaffin's CD and I can't stop listening to that song. I don't really care for some of the lyrics, but at the same time, I love the lyrics.

I second that emotion, it's a great piece. It might be in one of the AllSondheim books out there. One is yellow, one is blue, and on is red I think.
Im pretty sure its in one of them

I'm sure it's in one of the ALlSondheim's but also can't say which one...
my fave recording is the one with the original performer and orchestrations, as cut outa town, on the 1973 Evening with Sondheim concert CD

Oh, I love that recording, but I think Craig Lucas does an excellent job on the Marry me A Little album.
Gosh I love that piece. I wish I could see it somewhere.
Does anyone know if the piece is just comprised of the songs and how many songs there are in the piece?

Posted: 12/31/06 at 9:03pmI love the song. Now I'm interested in hearing more of "A Little Night Music." It's the last Sondheim show I have yet to hear.

ALNM was the first Sondheim score I ever heard.
I remember actually welling up when I heard the last notes of Weekend in the Country, it was just so beautiful.
I think it's his best score.

Posted: 1/1/07 at 3:34amIs Silly People from ALNM? Or Merry Me a Little? In the songbook it's credited to Merry Me... but in Philip's booklet it's credited to ALNM?

Posted: 1/1/07 at 3:42am"Silly People" was cut from A Little Night Music. Marry Me A Little is a revue of Sondheim's cut songs, "Silly People" was included; therefore, technically "Silly People" belongs to Marry Me A Little but it was originally written for A Little Night Music and cut from that show.

Posted: 1/1/07 at 3:57amA Little Night Music is in my humble opinion Sondheim's most unappreciated score and in my score one of his most brillant as well. Its just such a great score, book, and lyrics.....i wish this would be revived on Broadway. Actually it would work well like Sweeney Tood, especially Henrick already plays an 'cello

Stephen Sondheim has mentioned that this is a possibility and it would be a good fit for the piece.
