COULD I LEAVE YOU from Follies

This is a great song for acting... it allows you to play sarcasm, anger, wit, hurt, playfulness, irony. But being Sondheim, it is a little difficult to sing precisely... that is, the lyrics move fast and the melody in certain phrases is characteristically "odd"... but eventually you can get your mouth around it. Its a long piece and I dont know how often Ill get to sing the whole thing as an audition piece. It doesnt lend itself well to a "16 bar audition." For a mature voice, this is a great song. But now find someone who can accompany you! The music requires a seriously deft musician.

Classic Sondheim!

"Follies" is one of the best musicals that was ever presented on a Broadway stage. This song is one of the best of the best. Its sweet waltz-like melody ironically belies the caustic lyrics. This piece gives the singer an excellent chance to show off both vocal and acting chops. It can easily be programmed into a concert, a show or a recital.

Key

Such a great instrumentation, especially for an audition. But the key is not the same key as Stephen Sondheims broadway production, it should be in Bb.
