Godspell (Piano/Voice/Guitar): Vocal Selections Paperback – 1 Jan. 1982

This is truly great music, even if the musical itself is a difficult prospect. The story of Jesus Christ told not in Jesus Christ Superstar's 'rock-opera' format, but as a string of parables told in pantomime form followed by a stylistic crucifixion, the show can be difficult to grasp, but is well worth it if you can let yourself be swept away by it's energy. The vocal score itself contains almost all of the songs. The notable exception is Beautiful City, which appears in the film (and in new versions of the show such as the 2000 and 2001 recordings). For this, you have to go to other sources. The Prologue also uses the older (original) lyrics rather than Stephen Schwartz's preferred updated lyrics. Having said that, this is an essential if you love the show, or if you're performing in it.

Exactly as described score for iconic Godspell piece.

My church is presenting the piece on 10th March. I needed to know the opera and the songs at short notice

Five stars for a super way of re-visiting my youth! Godspell is an exciting way of learning about Christ's teaching through the theatre of the Parables and some fantastically memorable songs. With the odd exception 'Vocal Selections' provides all the music for a happy trip down memory lane.

This was a very well put together portfolio of a very good classic musical by a very talented composer the book came very swiftly .

Brilliant Music. A present for my pianist son.

there are some sheet for voices, but not too many, it would be better if there are voices of chorus part, while there are only one vocal line, without enough harmonization
