A must for Rodgers and Hammerstein collectors! This unique folio features 10 of their songs that never received the exposure they deserved plus the last song they wrote together - "Edelweiss." This collection contains songs that were cut from such productions as South Pacific, Oklahoma! and Flower Drum Song. Also contains the first known collaboration by Rodgers and Hammerstein, written for a university varsity show, and the only bona fide Christmas song they ever wrote, "Happy Christmas, Little Friend." Each song is prefaced by notes on its origin.
From the very first song they ever wrote together - "There's Always Room for One More" in 1919 - to the very last - "Edelweiss" in 1959 - Rodgers and Hammerstein created each song as its own musical moment. Very few of these songs ever fell by the wayside or ended up "In the Trunk." Still, there are some that, while not exactly lost, have certainly lost their way over the years. A few of them, the best of them, have been rediscovered here at last.
