I don't know what to say. I was ecstatic to find my purchase of this product in the mail today, and I was very eager to sit down at the piano and play. I'm a little disappointed that this songbook is much like most songbooks out there. It doesn't stand out a whole lot. The melody is written in the accompaniment, but when I select music, I prefer accompaniment that sounds original, not a duplicate of what's being sung. It seems distracting.I am however pleased that everything was kept in their original key signature as far as I can tell, even if that makes it harder for some to play. The graphics are a nice addition, and I am very satisfied with the number of songs included in this songbook.So, on that note, I still absolutely love RENT, and I am sure I will continue to. Maybe my expectations were too high? I'm not sure, but maybe it would be a good idea if a version of this songbook were released with the original accompaniment.
This is a quality piano book that transcribes the orchestration to piano notation without "dumbing down" the composers musical intent. The music, as is typical with piano/vocal books, carries the melody along with the accompanyment and the bass line seems to play true to the CD/movie. If you enjoy the music from Rent and are an average to above average piano player, you will be able to sit down and play through the songs in short order.
The music itself is fine. A bit advanced for my current level but I'll get there. I got this Kindle edition to use on my Nexus 10 tablet. Unfortunately the score on the Nexus is just too small to be usable and apparently not adjustable. I CAN make the title, credits et.al. larger (via font change), but not the staff/notes. On my PC Kindle app it works just fine, that is I can expand the Kindle window and the score resolution changes up to a readable level. But not on the Nexus 10 as there is no way to change the window size. This is the second score I've gotten that is unusable on my Nexus. I returned the first and I may return this. I can always get the book, dismember and scan it in to a PDF file for use in Orpheus. I lot of work but the outcome would be better. Perhaps it would work on a little larger screen, but this is what I have for now.
As true to the movie score and music. Does not include all the songs that are in the broadway show, but good enough for all the songs I loved to sing along to, and the piano pieces are more for intermediate to advance, and less so for beginners.
I really love the music from RENT. I use this product regularly. The only thing I did not like was that not all of the songs from the movie are in the book, but most of them are. I think there were only two missing. Enjoy!
I am very happy with this songbook. I think anyone who is a fan of RENT and plays guitar or piano would enjoy it. This music is so incredible and these arrangements are great. I highly recommend it!
The book arrived promptly and in excellent condition. The arrangements are true to the sound track and graded correctly as to difficulty in playing.
Almost bought the broadway vocal book that I saw at Borders...there were not a great amount of selections. I congratulated myself when I came home...looked on ...found the movie soundtrack vocal book and there were way many more selections...and it was a better price than the first one?? so any rent fan would be very happy with this bood. THe one drawback is the "Love heals" song which wasn't part ofthe original...Just don't love that song and Goodbye Love is not there but practically everything else is....you'll be very happy with this book.
