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!
