East have set it to music As everyone knows who knows the Southwest through "Oklahoma!" and NCW England through "Carousel" these chaps know their business and know their America and all the clue they put into the authentication of their lyrical and harmonies to whatever region is under consideration is not lost upon the listener Their collaboration blossoms forth in six songs scattered through a background score that heightens but never interferes with the story pretty much as Phil Stong wrote Neither the songs nor their lyrics are too smart Its not a story to which musical sophistication would have belonged: on the contrary as In "Oklahoma!" there are touches of corn here and there but it is honest Iowa corn "All I Owe Iowa" is a big chorus number that is almost self-conscious in its blood relationship to the similar chorus in "Oklahoma!" and in plate of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" there is a compelling country waltz tune called "It's a Grand Night for Singing" whose genesis like that of most of Its predecessors is Beethoven's1 Pastoral Symphony Other songs that may or may not join the hit parade are "That's for Me" and "It Might as Well Bel ISpring" but whether they do or not won't greatly matter Rodgers and Hammerstein have lonn since passed' the period of writing scores for the sake of a couple of hit tunes their' goal now is the integration of dialogue lyrics and music into a whole whose parts are all of equal importance Up to this point the Hammerstein talent for adaptation Boat" "Rose-Marie" "Car1 men Jones" been coupled With the Rodgers art of Yankee"
