This country doesnt need a constitution; never has; never will. We have History as our guide. In tough times; the British do what we have always done. We muddle through.This House is a timely and relevant political comedy; exploring Westminster and the 1974 hung parliament.In the run-up to the General Election pressure mounts as squabbling whips attempt to attract key regional votes. As it becomes clear the results will be closely balanced; the play tracks the formation; perils and consequences of a coalition government; including the compromises; conflicts and power games all in the interest of gaining control of Parliament.With well-paced; witty and waspish dialogue; This House playfully explores the childish digs and chauvinistic attitudes that riddle political life. Award-winning playwright James Graham combines comedy with comment in this portrayal of the strain between the thinking individual; the pressure to toe the part line and the end goal of winning government.

Most of the arrangements are great-however; they are not really for accompanying a singer. In other words; they include the melody line; which most professional singers would not want doubled. But thats fine; thats what I wanted. You can accompany with this of course; but youll have to do some on the fly modifying-leaving out melody notes; playing the right hand down a third and so on. For the money; its a wonderful book with great songs. Music with great melodies; harmonies and lyrics--real music!! Youll want to sing while you play I assure you....no matter how bad your voice is.....3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A nice collection of songsBy AdelieA nice collection of songs; that would be even nicer if there were a cross-index. The songs are indexed by title; not composer or lyricist; and theres no index of first lines. So you have to know just what youre looking for by title to use it. Another thing Id like is the COMPLETE songs from a musical; this has several songs but by no means all; from many musicals. Yes; it would be huge; but could be broken into separate volumes - all of RH; all of LL; all of RH; all the rest; however... Nice arrangements; though.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. ... of songs in this book and a bunch of pretty good ones and a bunch that Ive never even ...By Bill MThere are lots of songs in this book and a bunch of pretty good ones and a bunch that Ive never even heard of. I wish I could go through and pick out songs that I love and have someone compile a book for me with only those!!! All in a great buy for my daughters voice lessons.
