As a follow-up to Dispatch #306, here's a lovely version of a beautiful song: Stephen Sondheim's Sunday, from his Pulitzer, Tony, and Olivier Award-winning 1984 musical, Sunday in the Park with George. This YouTube clip is taken from Sondheim: A Celebration at Carnegie Hall, a 1993 Great Performances presentation on PBS.
Embedded below is another performance of Sunday—this time from the Sondheim 80th birthday concert which aired on PBS in 2010. In the clip, the composer is brought to tears by the moving tribute.
Whenever I'm feeling down and my spirits are desperately in need of a recharge, I listen to this beautiful song and always feel renewed and inspired afterward. May it do the same for you.
There's more to come in the next dispatch.
