good question. I am after music from 'elegies', but hasn't yet been released.

You're only hope is to get contraband versions.

The only reason I have some is from someone who knows someone who knows William Finn and gave them the permission.

I havent listened to Infinite Joy much, but im asuming "I Have Found" is from that?

all I have is 'A new brain' and 'Falsetto's' vocal books. both very much loved. Updated On: 1/4/05 at 01:38 PM

"I Have Found" is from a show Finn is working on called "The Royal Family of Broadway" (based on the play).. Carolee Carmello sings it on the CD and it's absolutely marvelous.

If you want the recording (it's called Infinite Joy: The Songs for William Finn), you can find it for $6.25 on Amazon.com (through a vendor, but still!). It's a great CD; I listen to it often.

Both songs are from the Infinite Joy concert that was done at Joe's Pub. I have "Anytime" as well. It was cut from A New Brain. Finn's got some great stuff, and I'm sure there are MANY people awaiting the Elegies release!

I do have a copy, it just hasn't been one of my major listens of recent. But will now have to pull it out.

I also just got myself (finally) a copy of 'In Trousers'. I have listened to a few tracks. What do people think?

I LOVE "In Trousers" and I am amazed that I have never heard of some enterprising young company doing the three "Falsettos" musicals in Rep.

It's out there. I've got copies of Anytime (Norm's key), I Am There (Carolee's key), Infinite Joy and some others. It's funny because they actually say "Carolee" or "Norm" printed on the music.

IN TROUSERS is my favorite piece of the Marvin trilogy, and the one that I listen to the most.

The second that "High School Ladies at 5 o'clock" ends, I can't resist jumping over and pressing the back button to hear it once again. Testa's "Set Those Sails" kills me, as does Fraser in the gorgeously evocative "I Am Wearing a Hat." It's a great CD.

I also love the INFINITE JOY score, especially "Hitchhiking Across America," which always makes me smile.

I can't wait for SPELLING BEE!!!

I agree, "Spelling Bee" will definitely be worth the wait! One of my dream roles is to be Gordo or Roger in "A New Brain". William Finn is fantastic. Absolutely astonishing!

from first listen, I cant imagine 'Trousers' will rein over 'falsetto's'(for me), but we'll see how we go...

glad to see there is so much love for, mr finn. Updated On: 1/5/05 at 01:37 AM

In Trousers is the best of the trilogy to me, too, Veuve.

I am wearing a hat--and those last two numbers on the cd...
