ASPECTS OF LOVE has a beautiful musical score - lyrical, romantic, and defines the characters singing them.

Some of Rodgers and Hammerstein scores are truly beautiful - CAROUSEL, OKLAHOMA! and SOUTH PACIFIC - very evocative of the setting in which the story takes place.

All the above have some gorgeous solo/duet pieces!

I'm surprised Titanic hasn't been mentioned. That is at the top of my list, along with I Love You Because, Ragtime, and La Cage.

I was going to say Falsettos because it does have so many lovely rhapsodic harmonies, but there is also some griminess to the score too.

When I think of beautiful scores, I think of the grand, lush sounds of Light in the Piazza, South Pacific, Carousel, and A Little Night Music.

I'd add Fanny to the list. I was enraptured by it at Encores and it gets more lush and gorgeous with every listen.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Am I really only, like, the second person to say West Side Story? That was the first thing I thought of.

On some consideration I'd add Company. Sorry/Grateful + Being Alive clinched it in my mind. That show gives me such shivers.

I would add Les Miserables along with all of these. Beautiful works of art! I find Spring Awakening and Next to Normal also beautiful in their own interesting unconventional ways!

And while the lyrics are horrendous, LOVE NEVER DIES has some beautiful music.
