Somewhere (There’s a place for us)

“Somewhere“ is a song from the 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story that was made into a film in 1961. The music is composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and takes a phrase from the slow movement of Beethoven’s ’Emperor’ Piano Concerto, which forms the start of the melody and also a longer phrase from the main theme of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake.
