Just got word that the Big Apple Film Festival will be screening Sami - probably episode one - mid-May. Hoping some of you New Yahkers can go. We'll try to have Sami there and Karim, too.

Gordon Jenkins, what could he not do? And no matter what anybody says, he produced the first concept albums in the long-play medium. To your great list I would add Walter Schumann and Hershy Kay.

I have lots to ketchup on, as I’ve been unable to concentrate on too much, due to this ongoing process of grieving.

However, I am delighted to read all of the wonderful reviews of SAMI, and plan to watch the entire series with no breaks. A grand way to lift my spirits, and a great way to learn how to laugh again.

TOD:

Mine are all from film -- Edward B. Powell, who orchestrated for Alfred Newman; Hugo Friedhofer, who did early-in-his-career orchestrations for Charlie Chaplin and Max Steiner; Conrad Salinger, who gave the MGM musicals their unique sound, Maurice de Packh, who orchestrated for Max Steiner on "King Kong" and many other films; Murray Cutter, who orchestrated for Steiner; Leon Raab; Ray Heindorf; Herbert Spencer and Arthur Morton, both of whom worked with many composers in the 60s through the 80s, but primarily for John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith.  There was also Leo Shuken and Jack Hayes, who did splendid work for several composers, including Elmer Bernstein and Marvin Hamlisch.

But in searching the Innerwebs about it, I discovered that you can purchase a box o' candy from the year you were born. Just type in "Retro Candy 19XX" in Amazon's search box. It ain't cheap, but it might be fun. And spark reminiscences. My mother's birthday is later this month, so I just ordered a box from her year of birth.

As soon as Zoom was over, I went to bed, vand I slept quite well. Stella spent most of the night lying beside me; Annabelle currently prefers to sleep on the kitty quilt at the foot of the bed, and Thatch sleeps in my computer chair. Around 4:30 Annabelle decided she was cold enough to crawl under the blankets to get warm. She was immediately followed by Thatch, who only stayed a moment. When the alarm rang, I had a kitty frenzy of three cats romping about noisily.

Maurice de Pakh, Herbert Spencer, and Max Steiner all began as Broadway orchestrators. Max Steiner wrote with Russell Bennett some of the glorious orchestrations for Jerome Kern's beautiful Sitting Pretty, which he also conducted, Gershwin's Lady Be Good, and the Gershwin-Romberg Rosalie. I think he may have worked on Kern's Sweet Adeline as well.

Title: Re: THE MONTH IS MAY AND MAY MAY BE A WONDERFUL MONTH
Post by: elmore3003 on May 01, 2023, 04:28:33 AM
Broadway (1940-1970)
Robert Russell Bennett: my friend Russell Warner said that Bennett's orchestrations were like a velvet-lined jewel box in which the tune sat like a diamond ring
Phil Lang: Annie Get Your Gun, High Button Shoes, Goldilocks, My Fair Lady, Camelot
Don Walker: Louisiana Purchase, Carousel, Finian's Rainbow, Call Me Madam, The Most Happy Fella, Cabaret, She Loves Me, Annie
Hershy Kay: On the Town, Candide, On the Twentieth Century
Ted Royal: Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, New Faces of '52
Sid Ramin: West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened . . ., Gypsy, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Irwin Kostal: West Side Story, Tenderloin, A Funny Thing Happened . . ., Rex
"Red" Ginzler: Gypsy, How To Succeed in Business, Bye Bye Birdie, Wildcat
Jerome Moross, who went to Hollywood to orchestrate his friend Aaron Copland's score for The Heiress and made better money working in Hollywood first as orchestrator (Hans Christian Andersen) and later as a composer
Larry Wilcox: Walking Happy, Sherry, a wonderful writer whose demons destroyed him
Ralph Burns: Little Me, Funny Girl, No No Nanette (1970), Chicago
Title: Re: THE MONTH IS MAY AND MAY MAY BE A WONDERFUL MONTH
Post by: elmore3003 on May 01, 2023, 04:34:43 AM
Broadway (1970- )
Jonathan Tunick, the best
Michael Gibson: in 1999 Michael Gibson asked me to co-orchestrate a show and I had to turn him down: I was having serious health issues caused by undiagnosed crushed discs in my neck and I could not hold a pencil; until his death, Michael replaced Don Walker as John Kander's go-to orchestrator
Michael Starobin: Rags, Assassins, his beautiful work on Sunday in the Park with George is best heard on the DVD of the Broadway production, not the CD
Bill Brohn: In 1985. I called him to tell him how wonderful his orchestrations were for the misguided The Wind in the Willows, but I run hot and cold on his work, which could be wonderful (Miss Saigon) or downright lousy (Mary Poppins)
HaroldWheeler: Rags, Sideshow
Luther Henderson: Ain't Misbehavin', Purlie

Upon the greeny grass. Fa La

The Spring clad all in gladness,
And to the bagpipe's sound
The nymphs tread out their ground, Fa la

Fie then why sit we musing
Youth's sweet delight refusing? Fa La
Say dainty nymphs and speak,
Shall we play barley break? Fa La

Last night was great, wonderful seeing everyone.

A couple of people mentioned this, and I agree:  I have really missed the online Kritzerland shows and chats. Obviously those were created for a reason that doesn't apply now, but in their absence it's apparent they were a rich part of our online life. It's great to have that back, at present, with SAMI and last night's Zoom.

I have a rehearsal tonight -- not for a regular show, but a concert chorale thingy two weeks from now that's to be accompanied by a ten-piece band. My part in that is mostly some strings padding, but there's one tricky number requiring some synth effects that I must work on today.

The auditions were most interesting.  We were divided into groups and given a scene to work on for a bit.  Then all three groups came back into the room and did the scene.

There were some good people there.....and some others.  And each group contained some others - so it was a bit of a slog.  Of all of those there, I would like to work with about half of them....some of them not at all.  Then again, some of those there might say the same thing about me.

I am sorry Iris, it is really hard losing a parent and then there is so much to deal with.

But in searching the Innerwebs about it, I discovered that you can purchase a box o' candy from the year you were born. Just type in "Retro Candy 19XX" in Amazon's search box. It ain't cheap, but it might be fun. And spark reminiscences. My mother's birthday is later this month, so I just ordered a box from her year of birth.

That was interesting.  I don't remember one of the items, Round Up, which look like it might be candy cigarettes.

Keith's box, one year later, is similar to mine.  One slight difference is that it has Victory cigarettes.

Back in 1956, food chemist, William A Mitchell invented Pop Rocks for General Foods, while trying to make an instant soft drink. But this little piggy did not go to market until 1975.

DR Iris:   I, too, wish you well in dealing with your mother's passing.

My mom died in August 2018.  I dealt with it...but my private moments were horrendous.  I had some crying jags.  I guess I was feeling sorry for myself, because I expected to have more time with her.  I also cried because I didn't really grasp how ill she was until her last week.

Even today, if I think on it as I am doing now, it is difficult. 

I am completely orphaned.

I am nobody's "son" anymore.

John's a friend I met through Kim Criswell. He's asked me for casting thoughts when he needs an American singer and I happen to know them. I recommended Ben Davis to him for his Kiss Me Kate at the Proms, and Kyle Guglielmo and Nate Hackmann for his Oklahoma! He chose Nate.

There's a moment in the Oklahoma! overture, in the transition from "Out of My Dreams" to "People Will Say We're in Love" that John settles into the new tempo and smiles with pleasure  that I just adore. Also, his Laurie is Scarlett Strallen, who had the lead in the Encores! The New Yorkers.

I did. Just went in to edit if necessary, but the ten stars are there in a nice bright blue. As I remembered doing, anyway. I'd also ten-starred the series and each individual episode. But I just made an inconsequential change and submitted my "edit" to see if it'll make the rating appear.

I went over to my mom’s house today for the first time since she passed away.
It was very difficult.

She has so much stuff!
Many cabinets and drawers filled with paperwork.
Two huge closets crammed with clothing, shoes, handbags, etc.

I am determined to start getting rid of my own things, as I do not want my daughter to face a similar situation one day.

John Wilson is turning out to be a wonderful conductor and advocate of film and theater music for his orchestra. I have quite a few of his recordings. And great sound on this video.

I fully concur.  His reconstructions/performances of film music is superb.

I know what you mean.   My mom had so much clothing and shoes.  Fortunately, a local church was having a bazaar and requested donations and my aunt and a friend came over and cleaned out the closets for me and took everything to the bazaar center.   

I still have her jewelry.  And she never threw out anything...including every tax return she ever filed from 1947 through 2018!  I have not yet brought myself to the point of shredding those.

DR Ron, you express exactly how I feel.

I was living in her house and probate was fairly easy as she had placed the house in my name several years earlier.

Every step is going to be emotional, Iris, and you should take your time.  It does get easier, but the feeling of loss changes slightly to deep regret.

Gordon Lightfoot has slipped away on Carefree Highway. One of the all-time greats.

Oh, no.  I met him once...in Jacksonville, FL in the early 1970s.
