Sometimes a reprise sums creates a short yet catchy take on a familiar tune, and sometimes they are more such is the case with " Seventy Six Trombones" from the classic show " Music Man"
The song opens with a reprise of the song " Ya Got Trouble" but instead of just being a simple reprise the song changes completely into a new song. Starting with a comedic edge and transforming into a ballad you can march along to. The words and melody are interwoven perfectly, This song as shows how likable the lead is.
" Seventy Six Trombones" has the perfect speed, melody, balance of solo and ensemble singing, comedy, and a lot of heart. this song is fantastic and is classic for a reason.
Favorite Lyric: Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind
There were more than one thousand reeds springing up like weeds
There were horns of every shape and kind
Until next time I hope your day is a showstopper.
