I have a big audition coming up and I am looking for the sheet music for the song "She Cries" from Songs for a New World. I can't seem to find any single sheet music for it and I'd have to buy the whole book to get it. If anyone has a copy of this song they can email or send to me, I would appreciate it so much. Thanks :)

I have it in my songbook, but my scanner doesn't work. It's a really long song though, like 12 pages. I'm not sure how long your audition is but that's a really long audition song.

Im cutting the second verse out to make it shorter. Thanks so much for your help though!

I LOVE Songs for a New World. Would love to see it live someday. The music is just UGH!! I love it.

AH! Stay away from She Cries for auditions. Fair warning. That song is ridiculously hard to play, especially sight-reading. If you know who the accompanist is and they're familiar with the song then fine, but for any normal situation, NEVER audition with Jason Robert Brown, William Finn or Stephen Sondheim.

Bjivie is right-- I'd bring my own accompanist to an audition if I was singing this song. Funny, the folks in my musical theatre workshop were discussing songs/composers pianists will hate you for (along with everyone who's been mentioned, they added Adam Guettel and most of Stephen Schwartz's score of "The Magic Show"-- time changes every measure, it seems like).

Good luck with finding the music, though! There are so many great pieces that it might be worth it to get the entire book.

Songs for a new world is fabulous however --- one of my musical directors once told me to stay away from JRB for auditions because the music is so complex (piano music that is) that it takes away from the singer ----

do what you want with that advice I am just putting it out there.
