lirik lagu stephen sondheim – “to me, teaching is a sacred profession…”
[stephen sondheim, spoken]
to me, teaching is a sacred profession. my life was shaped by teachers. first by a latin teacher in prep school. then by a man called robert barrow who taught music at williams college and made me a musician. and then my postgraduate studies with milton babbitt. and then of course my collaborators. and i suppose, above all, oscar, who taught me virtually everything i know about songwriting, and a good deal about life.
just before he died, he gave me a picture of himself, and i asked him to inscribe it. which is sort of odd, becausе he was a surrogate father to mе. it’s like asking your father to inscribe a picture. and he thought for a minute, and he was clearly a little embarrassed. and then he got a smile on his face, like the cat had just eaten the cream. and he wrote something. and when he left the room i looked at it, and it said “for stevie, my friend and teacher.” that’s a measure of oscar. he was a remarkable fellow.
