Stephen Sondheim / arr. Stephen Bulla
Selections from
Into the Woods
The underlying musical by Stephen Sondheim is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales. It follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel - all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch
who has put a curse on them. This symphonic medley includes “Into the Woods,” “No One Is Alone,” “I Know Things Now” and “Children Will Listen.”
Arranger Stephen Bulla was Staff Arranger to "The President's Own" United States Marine Band in Washington DC for thirty years. In retirement he is music director of the New England Brass Band and Brass Of The Potomac.
