Sweet

Reasonable reductions

This book contains reasonable piano reductions from the Broadway version of "Lion King." The people at Hal Leonard have done a decent job at transcribing a score that relies heavily on percussion instruments, but no one should fool themselves into thinking that the piano will singularly be able to duplicate the multiple timbres used in the show's orchestration (I suppose you could prepare the piano ala John Cage, but I digress...). The reductions are often thin and unsatisfying to play (and hear), but anyone looking for the basic chord progressions or outlines of the show's score should be satisfied. So, if you want the music...buy it!
