Philip J. Lang, Jonathan Tunick, etc. are names well known to musical theatre fans, but few people understand precisely what the orchestrator does. This is the first book ever written about these unsung stars of the Broadway musical whose work is so vital to each show's success. The book examines the careers of Broadway's major orchestrators and follows the song as it travels from the composer's piano to the orchestra pit.
