I think I would have smiled and said, “Yes, but at least I can create something that young and old appreciate, and can move people to tears…or laughter…or to dance.
Wow…I didn’t know those were available! I know that for the reconstructions of the soundtrack recordings it was a nightmare….literally bars had been pasted over bars, and the tape had dried and these little bits of score were all loose and it was like trying to fit together an enormous jigsaw puzzle…..i.e is this a violin part or the the oboe? Piano or harp? I’m glad to know it was published!
Does anybody know who played them for the originals? I know Stella Castelucci (sp?) was on LIMELIGHT and it was one of her first, if not THE first, soundtracks she recorded.
The first time I ever saw a harp played was Harpo in A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, and I was struck by how this wonderfully comic character was completely transformed by the instrument.
I’m curious, Robin…..I haven’t ever had any micromanaging wedding planners. What are they demanding? I’ve had a few contact me, but it’s always been the usual “just wanted to touch base and confirm that you will be arriving about 3:30PM on the 17th…” sort of thing. Sometimes they’ll confirm a processional, etc. or ask for a spelling on a composer, etc. But I haven’t had the planner from Hell. Some of them will email me a schedule (which is fine) and that usually has laid out my arrival time and the listings of the pieces the bride and I settled on for the ceremony music…but that’s been it.
BTW (knock on wood) I’ve never had one of those “endless phone call” brides who bug you at least weekly about the music. It might be due to the consultations…when you can meet eye-to-eye you can put them at ease and they realize that you have THEIR wedding as your sole focus.
You’re probably right, Jessica–alas.
There is one harpist here who advertises “The Harp can play ANYTHING…any harpist who says otherwise is just lazy.”
