Why is it “Beautiful” instead of “Wonderful” in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” and why just the opposite in Irving Berlin’s “They Say that Falling in Love is Wonderful”? We will listen to songs from the Great American Songbook and explore the reasons for specific word choices and wordplay in songs by lyrical masters from Cole Porter to Stephen Sondheim. Come join us as we have some wonderful fun with some beautiful lyrics!
