West Side Story again?  Now you've gone and done it.  C-Dubb swings by to reiterate how much he dislikes this musical in 3, 2, 1...

Young ND at his finest

Reminds me of this

I use this melody to explain the "hemiola"; effectively three notes over two beats. 
The "I want  to live in A Mer-I-Ca" is counted "trip-el-et trip-el-et one-two-three". Bernstein wrote it as a compound meter 6/8 3/4 (one measure of triple meter 6/8, followed by duple meter 3/4). Since the whole piece grooves with the triple meter feel, the duple hesitation forms the horizontal hemiola.

Just for you CW

Yeah, it's a good one.  I think it might be post-Civil War though.  Maybe they sang it at Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) reunions.
As the story goes, the Chicoms played that for President Carter when he visited their fair land.  :86:

I like the Tennessee Ernie Ford renditions of Civil War songs, with the exception of "New York Volunteer."

FAKE NEWS!

That's some serious wishful thinking on somebody's part. :)
Yep.  "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" was ca. 1969, when I was starting HS.

I generally like the earlier, less orchestrated ND work, but that is a great song.

Sorry to disappoint.
You mentioned seeing it live and loving it.  I think I'd like it too, seen live.
Movies make the suspension of disbelief more difficult.
I saw a performance of The Barber of Seville, by Rossini, at the Eisenhower Center at West Point back around 1995.  Rosina, the female lead, a contralto, was played by a Chinese woman.  5 minutes into the production, I forgot that completely.
I would not have been able to forget that in a movie.  There would have to be close-ups, and I would be reminded of it constantly.
I think that, in general, I like the theatrical versions of musicals better than the cinematic ones.

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air wait for us.
Somewhere.
