I think rhyming a character's name is inherently comic (or at least really calls attention to itself) and should be avoided in any lyric that is meant to be serious.
Interesting and valid point. And I'm thinking that even Sondheim avoided a rhyme for "Maria" to perhaps keep Tony sincere, whereas he had lots of fun with Armfeldt/charm felt and nice man/Weissman in more comic/upbeat moments, as well as poet Charles' struggling with Ella/tarantella, a cappella and umbrella, only to conclude he should have fallen in love with a Jane instead. ;-) |
