NEWS FROM THE POP MUSIC DEPARTMENT   Country music's golden girl Carrie Underwood is better than ever with her second album, Carnival Ride. The "American Idol" champion and Grammy Award winner has been on a ride all her own, singing her way to the top of the charts since her debut release of Some Hearts . Carrie's latest album features an array of hits including the No. 1 single "So Small" and "All-American Girl." Alfred Publishing introduces the album-matching folio to Carnival Ride. Music includes lyrics, melody line, and chord changes with professionally arranged piano accompaniment.   In an empty theatre, on a bare stage, casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. For 17 dancers, it's the one opportunity to do what they've always dreamed - to have the chance to dance. This is A Chorus Line, the winner of nine Tony Awards including "Best Musical", recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for drama and the longest-running American Broadway musical ever. Now A Chorus Line comes to the Buell Theatre from May 4 through May 17.  Visit their website for more information.  Visit The Music Box for the print music!   A beautiful souvenir folio of 29 songs from the movie Across the Universe that uses Beatles songs as an amazing backdrop for a beautiful and whimsical love story. This collection includes many pages of full-color art from the movie.    Hal Leonard Publishing, a trusted source for authentic editions of theatre music for singers, has expanded with yet another volume, The Singers Musical Theatre Anthology, Volume 5 . Many of the songs are found in no other collections. The 40 songs in each volume are in the original keys, excerpted from vocal scores and piano/conductor rehearsal scores. The volumes include both recent shows and a deeper look into classic musicals.  Available for all voice types.  Back to Top

CLOSING THOUGHTS   Spring makes its own statement,  so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments,  not the composer.  ~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth~ HAPPY SPRING AND SEE YOU NEXT MONTH AT OUR MUSIC BOX SALE!   Back to Top
