I was about to say there's a nice tribute to Sondheim with today's Google doodle, but when I clicked through it's for Georges Seurat! Ah well.

Upon news of his passing my Uncle in Australia wrote the following poem that i'd like to share with you all:
Together, we ventured into the woods
Where terrible giants dwelt in the sky
And a brazen young girl in a scarlet hood
Met a hungry wolf, who was up to no good
As a witch sought ingredients impossible to buy.
You shared a story, set on the upper West Side
Of two young lovers, neither one to blame
Of tragedy and prejudice, ignorance and pride
Of secret desires on opposing sides
Of an anger not even love could tame.
We walked together through London streets
Along lanes of filth and grime
Passing taverns; serving pies of questionable meats
Wary of strangers and those who would greet
A barber, the protagonist of a terrible crime.
Your wit and flair has filled our minds
and challenged our hearts to grow
Images and music of various kinds
Messages and humour that sought to bind
Encompassed in a theatre, on a stage, within a show.

I was at that Prom and it was one of the best nights ever. Will be lovely to see it again. But poor Mr Sondheim tripped and nearly fell as he was coming on the stage to take his bow. |

I watched the broadcast. Favourite part was Julian Ovenden singing "Being Alive". |

Lin Manuel got choked up reading Stephen Sondheim’s words. Words are important and was my hook into musical theatre. Music just elevates great Words. Words are what Stephen Sondheim was an absolute Grandmaster of. His words will immortalise him.

It makes for a facinating night of TV. Also the Cam Mac documentary on Sky Arts last night as lots of Sondheim in it as well as the man himself talking. At the end they said that the interview took place 10 days before he died. |

Also really enjoyed the Omnibus documentary, it was fun spotting young Di Botcher, Clare Burt and Geraldine Fitzgerald. Does anybody happen to know if anything became of the work of the students he was teaching? I wondered if somebody might recognise them. The ‘Sondheim at the BBC’ compilation was good too, if a little over-reliant on West Side Story numbers. |

I believe one of them was Edward Hardy who later went on the write the lyrics to the first version (of many) of Martin Guerre, and who was applauding outside the Sondheim at the light dimming earlier this month. |

Oh yes, the one who said songwriting was going to be “bloody hard work”. Found a pic of him. Thanks! |
