Additional Musical Theatre Interval Examples
Posted: 06 Oct 2016, 23:01
I have a few additions to the musicals list!
The intro of "Washington On Your Side" from Hamilton is great for intervals:
ascending Major 3rd, ascending Perfect 4th, ascending minor 3rd, descending minor third
Ascending minor 3rd:
"Come to Me (Fantine's Death)" from Les Mis (on word "Cosette" at beginning)
Descending Perfect 4th:
"Don't Rain On My Parade" from Funny Girl (low ends of phrases like "comer" and "butter")
Ascending Perfect 5th:
"One Boy" from Bye, Bye, Birdie
Ascending minor 6th:
"Johanna" from Sweeney Todd (the one that Antony sings). ("I feel you")
"Unexpected Song" from Song and Dance ("hearing" on the very last word of the song)
Descending minor 6th:
"Unexpected Song" from Song and Dance ("...ted song" during the verses: F to A)
Ascending Major 6th:
"I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line ("I really need this job")
"Little Lamb" from Gypsy
"A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Mis ("Don't you fret")
Ascending Major 7th:
"The Spark of Creation" from Children of Eden
Ascending Octave:
"Singin' in the Rain" from Singin' in the Rain
Hope these help!
