I've finished the Moross score and Act Two Scene One of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. The copyist, Ben salisbury, for MHF is doing a spectacular job and I'm proofing the score with a huge smile on my face. It's just beautiful to look at. Poor Ben got lots of scathing notes from me on the first pass - as Dan,the copyist on the Moross score, will, too, very shortly - and he did everything I asked with good humor and skill. I won't settle for Finale-ized music that doesn't have a visual appeal on the page.
So, I'm trying to decide what I will watch tonight. I'm thinking about the HANSEL & GRETEL from 1954 with Anna Russell as the vocie of the Witch.
