What song does Amaryllis sing in The Music Man?

Answer 1

The first song Amaryllis plays is source music: the incomplete first phrase of "Rustic Dance" by C.R. Howell. I have found vintage sheet music published in dates ranging from 1924 to 1944, plus it is in many standard piano lesson books (including the one I learned from as a kid in the 1970s.) I found a listing for undated vintage sheet music whose seller suggested it was circa 1890. C.R. Howell was born in 1850, so given shorter life spans of the time, it would be likely that the song was written before the 1912 setting of the show Music Man. The second song Amaryllis plays, the "cross-hand piece," was composed by Meredith Willson for the show, and was designed to be a partner song with "Goodnight My Someone."

Answer 2

She is in the ensemble so she's in just about every song... except Marian the Librarian and the Pickalittle lady songs. She also plays the cross hand peice on the piano. She sings Goodnight my someone.

Answer 3

Amaryllis usually sings a duet with Marian Paroo, "Goodnight My Someone", but some directors chose to not do the duet in a whole.
