Does anyone knows w if they are using Sebesky’s arrangements for the Parade revival?

There's a tribute post by JRB in the Musical Theatre Orchestration group that says yes.

Thank you. His work was excellent.

And now it's almost time for me to get ready to go see Marat/Sade, and I must get something to eat beforehand.

I'll be back in time for the Zoom.

Steal the conductor's score. I love Marat/Sade! I once orchestrated a show for Richard Peaslee, who really shat on me. I still love his music but nt the man.

Was that for Patricia Snyder in Albany?

The brilliant arranger and orchestrator Don Sebesky has died. I met him at a Boston Pops rehearsal for either Sarah Jessica Parker or Nathan Lane. Besides being a fantastic artist, he had the worst handwritten manuscripts I've ever encountered. In 1993, I proofread his scores for Cyrano: The Musical when the show was copied by Chelsea Music Service, and they were impossible to read. One day I proofread the newly copied band parts to "Moonsong," and nothing seemed right, from chords to notes. I walked with Don Oliver to the theatre where the piece was read down by the orchestra. It remains one ogf the most ravishing and magical things I have ever heard. RIP, Don Sebesky.

My condolences, Larry. I loved his Symphonic Sondheim album.

It is supposed to rain here for the next 4 days. I need sun or I find it affects my mood. I plan to use my light therapy lamp a lot. I've only had it for a few months. Does anyone else use light therapy?

No. Michigan doesn't get a whole lot of sun. When we lived there I knew a number of people who used it and said it helped.

DR Jennifer do you sit and read or work on your computer while you use the light?

Sorry to hear about Jeanne's neighbor.

I worked with Sebesky on Bells Are Ringing's revival cast album. Very nice guy, a little tense at the session thanks to the producers, The Maxwells, but we got through it in record time, the fastest cast album session we ever did. I was very effusive in my praise of his 1960s albums and arrangements for others.

George · « **Reply #73 on:** April 30, 2023, 11:51:58 AM »

Well, I must get myself ready for today's ushering. Hopefully, I'll be back in time for the Zooming.

Until later!

What is this hopefully I'll be back in time malarkey? I based this on everyone's schedule. I do hope you'll all be there because otherwise no peas and porridge.

I love his work on Symphonic Sondheim, but it really needs a complete remastering on CD - it's low volume and distant sound do no favors for those great charts. One I'd love to get my hands on, but alas...

I have to attend the 3pm Mario Bros movie for a schoolmate of my son’s birthday, so I don’t believe I can make the zoom, sadly.

Just in case it's not clear, the Zoom thing for the EAST COAST isn't until 7:30 (4:30 WEST COAST).

I reviewed that production way back when.

A Snow Queen with cantaloupes.

Many, many cantaloupes.
