  This was great. I didn’t recognize the tune until the chorus came in. She sang it so well to. This song has always sounded sinister to me. Her bright tone paired w the dark melody made for an interesting listen

  Look, because of social media I _think_ I know Darren and Jeremy but we all know I don't (just don't tell me, let me continue to live in denial) but let's face it, everyone has to agree that they must have shat bricks. They not only got to sing a Sondheim song in front of the man himself, they got to _perform with him._ "Oh, you have five Tonys? That's nice, I got to perform with _Sondheim_ and I have it on video." If that were me, I'll have that on my obit. Others will be like "Olympian Gold Medalist So-and-so died while saving 24 children from drowning..." mine will be "Denial Man, who performed with Stephen Sondheim (yes _that_ Sondheim, look it up, there's a video on it on KZread), passed away last night after watching Smallville again, his heart giving out when Clark was mind controlled for the sixteenth time."

  The tuning shown @2:00 is incorrect. The correct tuning is (low to high) CGDFCE not CGBFCE. This makes the stacked C/G/F chords analysis incorrect. If you look at videos of Mitchell performing this song, or the still seen in this video (taken from the Rolling Thunder doc), you'll see the first chord shape she fingers looks like an A major chord at the 2nd fret, which in the tuning you show would include a C# (on the D string), which doesn't fit the context.

  Did they? Did they really compose it? What about Seventeen-year-old Edward Roman from troy N.Y. with whom they settled in court in 1934 for $1,2OO after they took his song and published it without his permission. Let's hear that part of the story.

  Have you seen the well-to-do Up on Lenox Avenue, On that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air? High hats and colored collars, White spats and fifteen dollars, Spending every dime For a wonderful time. If you're blue and you don't know Where to go to, why don't you go Where Harlem sits Puttin' on the Ritz? Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high browns From down the levee, All misfits Puttin' on the Ritz. That's where each and every Lulu-belle goes Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus Rubbin' elbows. Come with me, and we'll attend Their jubilee, and see them spend Their last two bits Puttin' on the Ritz!

  This is a lovely refresher. Most composition students who take analysis courses will come across this piece. Alas Sondheim was embarrassed by the song. I fact so much so that Stephen called it the “Ah” song. As in “there’s A place for us…” because of the issue that one wouldn’t place an ascending melody or emphasis on the A article. Stephen found it very frustrating, because Lenny wanted that tune in the show and Stephen was only in his twenties. There was no way he had a choice. Till the day of Sondheim’s death he felt embarrassed by it.

  Fascinating. I didn't know the singer was a black opera singer until I saw 4:35 her and heard her sing. She has a beautiful voice. Reri Grist has had a standard-setting career in opera. All of this is amazing to have happened in the 1950s. Kudos to her and to Leonard Bernstein.

  Beautiful! "Somewhere" has always been one of my favorite pieces of music mainly because, as a gay kid growing up in the 1950s, I totally resonated with the aspiration of a time and place for us, someday, somewhere. I never knew this was a ballet in the original production, and sung by Reri Grist offstage. Amazing! And not to forget that Bernstein, Robbins and Sondheim were themselves gay and perhaps composing to express their own aspirations.

  Steven Spielberg should have added the Somewhere Ballet as the ending of the film , sort of like a dream sequence of an utopian alternate . Will never forgive Spielberg for not including the Somewhere Balllet.

  Thank you for such an intelligent and articulate analysis. I'd been following Joni since 1971, when Hejira came out. I remember I was in a listening booth. The opening chords in Coyote sounded like a whole new aural world to me -- I was enthralled. I had to listen to that opening over and over to try to figure what it was that made it so unique. The polytonality, the bell-like base, the layered colors, and of course the WORDS! I was a young boy in love with a married man... this song spoke to me.

  There was a decent music console in my parents' living room but it was not high-fi! Already a Sinatra fan since the 'Songs for Young Lovers' lp from Capitol Records from a couple of years before, I learned that my best buddy's parents had bought the 'Songs for Swingin' Lovers' album. Hot-diggity! After hearing it, I would make excuses to call at their home over and over, uninvited, just to play it. At present, my Sinatra cd collection from 1954 through reprise with Jobim, while not complete, is not unremarkable.

  George Gershwin was of the view that Irving Berlin was the greatest of songwriters, even greater than Schubert. Whether one agrees with this or not, Berlin's achievements as a very popular songwriter are all the more remarkable in view of his having been compositionally handicapped with a lack of fundamental music theory knowledge coupled with very subpar pianistic ability. Thank you for this very good explanation that helps, through describing Berlin's transposing piano, to reveal why this is so.
