Okay, I've just checked, and indeed DR LMore's arrangement of "New Words" on Unsung Musicals preceded by one year Glenn Mehrbach's for Andrea Marcovicci.
I just listened to both of those, plus The Sexiest Man Alive (Brent Barrett--I want him to read this, if he's googling his name) on The Maury Yeston Songbook.
Of the two first arrangements, I like Larry's best, I do. But of the three versions of the song, I think Brent carries it better--he is singing to the child rather than the audience. And the song is so delicate that piano alone really seems most appropriate.
I was shocked, however, to discover after repeated listenings that Maury rhymes "around us" with "astounds us". For shame! Lehman Engel is rolling in his grave.
