Broadway heartthrob James Snyder sings and discusses "If I Loved You" from the R&H classic, CAROUSEL. The analysis contrasts this complex and musically dense "not at all in love" type song with its simpler counterparts from other shows. James and I also talk about navigating the monumental "Bench Scene," and his own history with Billy Bigelow, as his wife was pregnant with their first child.

Hello! My name is Dan Pardo. I am a NYC-based music director, arranger, and pianist, and this is PARDO'S TURN, my Web Series/Podcast. In each episode, I will analyze an iconic showtune from a music director's point of view, and perform the song with some terrific friends and colleagues. If you're curious to hear how the construction of a melody relates to its lyric, the implications of a certain harmonization or rhythm, or what an orchestration choice might suggest, then please subscribe and take this journey with me!
