Description
An original piece of sheet music in good condition.
“Try to Remember” is a song about nostalgia from the musical comedy The Fantasticks. It is the first song performed in the show, encouraging the audience to imagine what the sparse set suggests. Its lyrics, written by Tom Jones, famously rhyme “remember” with “September”, “so tender”, “ember”, and “December,” and repeat the sequence -llow throughout the song: verse 1 contains “mellow,” “yellow,” and “callow fellow”; verse 2 contains “willow,” “pillow,” “billow”; verse 3 contains “follow,” “hollow,” “mellow”; and all verses end with “follow.” They also feature an interpolated rhyme in “wept” and “kept,” and alliterative lines “when grass was green and grain was yellow” and “without a hurt the heart is hollow.” Harvey Schmidt composed the music.
