22 Days of Music: Day 15

[rsadelle]

I think I've mentioned that some members of my ballet class and I had fun making a game out of identifying what musical the instrumental versions of songs we dance to are from. I've leveled up now to the more advanced class, and our teacher doesn't use as many pieces of music from musicals, and the tone of the other students is a little too serious for such frivolity. Today, however, she used one that it had taken us a couple of weeks to identify. We knew it was an Andrew Lloyd Webber song, and I was pretty sure it was from Evita, but we had to keep listening and figure out what we expected the lyrics to be and then use that to identify the song as "Another Suitcase In Another Hall," which is actually a somewhat unlikely song to have as a ballet practice piece that may be used with small children. Although I suppose you might not notice that without the lyrics.

I was hoping to find the version off of the 1979 soundtrack, which is the one I used to own, but if it's at imeem, it's not identified as such. This is a nice version.
