Color and Light celebrates the music of Stephen Sondheim with the artistic genius of Georges Seurat. Both Sondheim and Seurat's meticulous attention to detail using only primary dots of color and sound, make this work truly unique in the history of art and musical theatre. The show opens with a 5 note piano, mallet theme heard throughout the presentation moving quickly into the song "Color and Light". "Move On" again opens with the familiar 5 note theme and then a full band rendition of this beautiful ballad. The final movement is "Putting It Together" which is the whole idea behind the show as a painting slowly comes together in the end. The show ends with the simple statement:
White, an empty page. So many Possibilities.

About Licensing
Before I can deliver an arrangement you are required to obtain “permission to license” from the copyright holder using a site like TRESONA MUSIC or reaching out directly to the copyright holder. Some arrangements take days or even weeks to license (and others are simply declined by the copyright holder). For your convenience, I've indicated arrangements (with a ) I believe will license quickly (but not guaranteed) and a green check if it lists on TRESONA as pre-approved. All the music listed at one time has been approved for arranging. The cost of licensing a song is typically between $180 to $350 but some can be much more. The cost of licensing is not included in the price of the arrangement and is the responsibility of the purchaser.
