Does anyone know where I can find mp3s or videos of the music Jeanine Tesori composed for the 2004/2005 Shakespeare in the Park production of Mother Courage and Her Children which starred Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Austin Pendleton? I need it for a project on Brecht and Music.

I think Samuel French license the show. They are very strict on what music is used with which version of the text, but they should at least be able to advise on any official recordings/ sheet music of that score.

This video review of the production has clips of two of the songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWApVvqM-W0

And this short documentary has some of the scoring and one of the songs, as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mz5I1LmLLw
