Leonard Bernstein's Works for the Musical Theatre: How the Music Functions Dramatically
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study of Leonard Bernstein's works for the American musical theatre attempts to demonstrate how the composer has explored the dramatic function of music in opera, operetta, musical drama, and musical comedy. The study is limited to his six works which contain a narrative line complete with character's names and plot. Most of the material analyzed was also studied in a performance setting. Aimed at producers, educators, directors, and performers of musical theatre, the thesis provides both general and detailed information on Bernstein as a dramatic composer.
