"Tonight" was originally composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. I wish I’d had a chance to share it with these masterful creators before they left this world. It’s wonderful to finally be able to realize the arrangement that I’ve had in my head since I first saw West Side Story as a kid. I realize then and now that Bernstein wanted to reflect the excitement and anticipation of young love. But since both Tony and Maria have already had some very hard times, and we know the story so well, I always felt it could be more restrained, rich, and melancholy. Like, “finally, I found someone I really love, but who knows what will happen.” It is Romeo and Juliet, after all.
