Lin-Manuel
Miranda calls this song a
love letter to New York
that lets us know who the
Schuyler sisters are
outside the context of
Hamilton. Through an
innovative combination of
rap, patter singing,
character-driven musical
themes, and a supporting
chorus, we are introduced
to three outstanding
women from the
Revolutionary War era.
Alan Billingsley's
supercharged arrangement
sounds just like the
original Broadway score,
with stylized solos (both
spoken and sung) and
plenty of satisfying
choral sonorities and
riffs. Work!
