	William Finn - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Composer William Finn's musicals, particularly the trilogy of shows about the bisexual character Marvin ({+In Trousers}, {+March of the Falsettos}, and {+Falsettoland}), excited hope among musical theater aficionados that he was a major songwriter for the stage and a possible successor to Stephen Sondheim.
		Finn returned to the Marvin character with {+March of the Falsettos}, which again began at Playwrights Horizons on May 20, 1981, before moving to an off-Broadway house for an eventual combined run of 298 performances.
		In 2000 and 2001, Finn and a group of singers performed an anthology of his work, {+Infinite Joy: The Songs of William Finn}, at Joe's Pub, a nightclub within the Public Theater, and the show was recorded by RCA for an album released in May 2001.

	A New Brain - Death is a Cabaret
		Finn's "New Brain," in addition to being the most directly autobiographical, is by far the jauntiest and least probing of the lot.
		Inspired by a recent period in Finn's life in which he was wrongly believed to have an inoperable brain tumor, the show's dominant tone is of a cosmic gratitude.
		Finn's musical is far more good-hearted and likable, but it feels at best distant and at worst like a singing, inspirational Hallmark card; it doesn't grab you while you're watching it or stay with you afterward.

	William Finn, Ask A Star: Broadway.com Buzz
		Finn-- In my opinion, you have created some of the most beautiful and cathartic melodies and lyrics not only for the New York stage but for music as a whole.
		William Finn responds: More instinctive, which of course is not the answer you wanted, but that is just the way it is. I used to begin by reading the poems of Frank O'Hara, which I always felt would "shove" my lyrics into the right place.
		William Finn responds: That a song I wouldn't normally have thought was finished worked perfectly in this show--it was such a collaborative score (which I don't usually write).

		William Finn premiered Elegies —; a song cycle, with a star-studded Broadway cast that included Christian Borle, Betty Buckley, Carolee Carmello, Keith Byron Kirk and Michael Rupert.
		It must be said, however, that any serious discussion of Finn’s music must point out that he repeats himself frequently, both melodically and harmonically, as well as employing favorite chord progressions (especially at the beginnings and endings of songs) over and over.
		Undoubtedly, Finn remains one of the most unique and gifted composers we have and Elegies should be recorded with this extraordinary cast immediately.

		Like Sondheim, Finn is prone to write tinkly, brittle art songs that break off in midphrase and to fill them with lyrics so clever they reward, and maybe require, repeated hearing.
		For Finn, 40, the Broadway debut of Falsettos is the fulfillment of an obsession.
		Finn makes no bones about the piece's autobiographical flavor: "Though his history bears no relationship to mine, temperamentally Marvin is me. He is not easy.

		William Finn's career in the musical theater is pretty remarkable considering that he doesn't write traditional show tunes--much less traditional shows.
		But Finn has a gift for catchy melodies and his emotionally engaging work has a way of intimately connecting with audiences (during the initial run of Elegies, hardened New Yorkers could be seen trying to hide their tears).
		Except for the last song, I was not impressed by the material--what few rhymes there are are trite and commonplace, and Finn is even audacious enough to put praise forhimself in one of the lyrics.
