 Great vocal arrangement October 6, 2008
This songbook is one of the better ones I have purchased. The vocal arrangements are true to the recording. It is wonderful to have all of the harmony parts for a change. The musical arrangements are pretty good but are not note-for-note in some songs. I am sure this was done to allow solo piano arrangements for guitar oriented songs. They only thing I was disappointed in was the omission of Mama Who Bore Me(Reprise).
 Beautiful score, badly arranged August 25, 2008
What a shame...
After months of waiting for this music book to be released, I was disappointed to discover that the piano arrangements are not really up to scratch.
Spring Awakening is one of the best shows I have seen recently and this was maining due to Sheik's truely wonderful score. Why then, after almost a year of wait, did the publishers of this book allow below par arrangements for the piano.
Overall, this book still deserves a place in your music collection. The songs are very well written and, once you get a feel for it, you can busk your way through each time!
 I believe in Spring Awakening! June 28, 2008
Wonderful songs that weren't too hard to play, but not elementary music. There were a couple of songs that were missing. Also there were opening sections of songs that were missing which was sad. Otherwise it was wonderful and I loved the pictures and the lyrics. Just an amazing musical in general!!!

This book is fantastic! It's not like alot of vocal selection books that just have the solo works, this had the multiple parts built into the staff to create the beautiful harmonies and chords that are affluent in the musical! Definately worth the wait! Reccomend it to anyone who knows the musical, or just wants to learn to sing such amazing music! I only wish they would have had the reprise in it. On a side note, on one of the songs I believe it is "Touch Me" some lyrics are not the same as whats heard on the soundtrack/lyrics on the cd insert, but it is no big deal seeing as they all flow with the music and it's only a line or two.
Amazing, Incredible, Life Changing February 18, 2008

If you have not yet seen the show and you are able to do so, see it. Drink it in. It is the strongest social commentary on repression of ALL people, not just teens, I have seen in a long time. Read the script. Discuss with your friends. It is as multifaceted as a diamond. It is the anthem to an era.
As a vocalist, I own the vocal selections to about 15 musicals I have enjoyed. Every time I get the same watered down vocal lines, removed harmonies, gross accompaniments and rhythms that seem to have been transcribed by a first year music theory student. Not so with this book. This book has the significant harmonies that can be heard on the soundtrack. It is truly a masterful transcription of a difficult score. All the songs you could want are there.
The best vocal selections I have in my possession.
