Spring Awakening: A New Musical

Created by composer Duncan Sheik and lyricist Steven Sater, this piano and vocal sheet music songbook presents 17 vocal selections from Spring Awakening, the Tony Award-winning rock musical. Written for singers, pianists, and accompanists, it includes vocal melodies, complete lyrics, piano accompaniment, chord names, and guitar chord diagrams. Please note: this edition contains explicit lyrics consistent with the original show.

The arrangements support vocal development, phrasing, and storytelling while giving pianists rich harmonic textures that reflect the show’s contemporary score.
