Ballet Ballads John Latouche

One of the seminal works of the American musical theater, "Ballet Ballads" was the first collaboration of composer Jerome Moross and lyricist John Latouche. Its premiere in 1948 in New York City received consistently rave reviews and was heralded as a breakthrough in the genre. While the work is made up of four separate acts with distinctly different themes and stories, it has never been performed in its entirety. The vocal score features the music and lyrics for all four acts: Susanna and the Elders, Willie the Weeper, The Eccentricities of Davy Crockett and Riding Hood Revisited. "Ballet Ballads" The Complete Vocal Score is published in commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of its world premiere and is a true collector's item for lovers of the American musical art form.
