South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Product Details
Description
Few animated films have combined outrageous comedy and genuine musical sophistication as successfully as South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Expanding the groundbreaking television series into a full-scale movie musical, Trey Parker and Marc Shaiman created a score packed with unforgettable songs, sharp satire, and Broadway flair. From the Academy Award-nominated Blame Canada to the exuberant opening number Mountain Town and the heartfelt Up There, the film remains a landmark achievement in contemporary screen musicals.
Marc Shaiman’s score draws upon the traditions of classic Hollywood and musical theatre while embracing the irreverent spirit that made South Park a cultural phenomenon. The result is a richly orchestrated and remarkably ambitious work that functions equally well as satire, film score, and standalone musical experience.
This durable, high-quality full score has been carefully prepared from the original score materials and offers an unprecedented opportunity to study every aspect of the film’s musical architecture. Ideal for conductors, composers, students of film and musical theatre, and anyone interested in the art of screen music.
An essential addition to the library of every film music enthusiast and a fascinating document of one of the most daring movie musicals ever produced.
