More about this title

About the Artist: Catherine Chisholm Cushing

Catherine Chisholm Cushing was an American composer and pianist active in the early 20th century, known for her contributions to musical theater and popular song. Her work bridged classical training and the accessible melodicism of Broadway, making her compositions appealing to both concert musicians and amateur pianists.

Cushing's pieces often featured romantic sensibilities paired with straightforward harmonic language, qualities that made them ideal for E-Z Play Today arrangements. Her theatrical background informed the expressive demands of pieces like "L'amour Toujours," which balance emotional content with playability.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the charm of early Broadway sentiment without requiring advanced technique, making it perfect for students who want to experience theater music authentically. The simplified voicings preserve the piece's romantic character while keeping the page turns manageable for independent practice.

What to expect

A tender moment captured in music, with sweeping melodic phrases that suggest both intimacy and theatrical grandeur. The piece evokes the elegance of early 20th century parlor music, refined but never precious, inviting the performer into a small world of romantic expression.

Who it's for

Student pianists working toward early intermediate level who want to explore theatrical repertoire beyond classical sonatinas. Teachers looking for accessible arrangements that maintain artistic integrity and spark interest in Broadway-era songwriting.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the lyrical melody by allowing slight rubato in the opening phrase; the accompaniment can breathe with you without losing cohesion.
  • Pay attention to any dynamic markings that suggest emotional peaks. Even in E-Z Play Today format, contrast between sections creates narrative drive.
  • Shape the phrasing by thinking of the melody as if you were singing it; this helps avoid mechanical execution and brings warmth to the performance.
  • Balance the accompanimental texture so the melody emerges clearly without forcing; let the harmony support rather than compete.

How to use it

Pair this with other Broadway arrangements or popular music selections for a "Great American Songbook" themed concert. It works particularly well as a bridge piece between classical and contemporary programs, reminding audiences that theatrical music has deep roots in emotional storytelling.
