Good for learning the songs

I like this book for it's simple piano music. Great if you are learning to sing these songs... I also enjoyed the bios and history of the play. BUT, why doesn't this book contain "War is a Science"?

Just the Script, Ma'am.

This book includes the words and lyrics to Stephen Schwartz' musical PIPPIN. The lyrics don't seem as impressive as they are when combined with the music, but for those who don't have anything more than a basic outline-idea of what the show is about (like I was), this book helps fill in the gaps. The script is kind of bizarre and plays around with a lot of different theatrical conventions. Pippin is the son of Emperor Charlemagne and is scheduled to fill the throne when his father dies. Charlemagne wanted Pippin to be a better ruler than he was and sent him off to the top schools to be educated. Not only did the schooling fill Pippin's head with knowledge, but it also provided him with an empty feeling in his heart. He decides to set forth and do everything he can until the void is filled. That's the gist of the plot. There are also several beheadings, sexual dances, and some time-traveling resurrection. Not to shabby for just a bunch of words written down.

This music touches the soul.

This book is excellent for anyone who is a Pippin fan or a fan of musical theatre. It has many different styles and is a great addition to any collection.
