"Tonight" is a popular song with music written by Leonard Bernstein and the lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, published in 1956.
It was introduced in the Broadway musical, West Side Story. The song was revived in 1961 on single records in versions by Ferrante and Teicher (#8 pop, #2 easy listening), and Eddie Fisher, whose version narrowly missed the Top 40.
Many of the pieces in "West Side Story" experiment with different melodic tricks. This song is notable for its prominent perfect fourth intervals, and a theme that starts on a pentatonic scale but develops into a western key.
