Yesterday was a long day. Those orchestra parts for DO I HEAR A WALTZ are a mess, and several numbers still need some work. The new things Joshie and i redid played well, and that made us happy. The sitzprobe began at 2:30, and Rob, orchestra, and cast worked through the numbers.
Much of it sounds really good, although I'm still of the opinion that Ralph Burns, a wonderful big band arranger, was still learning how to write for strings. I don't think he was very good with them.
