Well, I’m very happy to announce that, FINALLY, the mystery has been solved as to who the on-camera harpists were for Fantasia.
Thanks to Alex Rannie for going through the Disney vaults and finding the call sheets for the live action filming!
According to the studio call sheets, the on-camera harpists used for the live action filming were Elizabeth Ershoff and Helen Bliss.
I was playing 2nd harp with the Phoenix Symphony one day, and I turned to Karen (first harp) and asked her, “Do you ever have days when you feel like you’ve never seen a note of music in your life, and you have no idea how to play this thing
I haven’t had much luck with them either….and it seems like there are a lot of internet companies that are quick to sign you up and take your money, with very little (if any) return.
Arlene,
If you’ll email me with your mailing address I’ll send you my editings on “This Little Babe”.
Years ago Dorothy Remsen told me that once, while playing the Nutcracker Cadenza, the conductor stopped her and said, “You’re not playing what is written!” Dorothy told me, “Well, what do you say? I sort of gulped and said, ‘ I am playing it the way it is traditionally played, Maestro'”.
