It's been a long time

glad to see a post.

I have done a little work that I didn't post about because it didn't result in completing anything.

However I am very glad to announce that I finished what I am pretty sure will be the hardest song to arrange and that is "In the Dark of the Night". If you are familar with Anastasia you know this song in the movie is sung by Rastputin and he has little minions dancing singing and such. For my smaller production of this I did something quite different and made it into a duet with Rasputin and Bartok (who will be played as a person, not a bat). It worked out well but took alot of work!!! The style for this song is so different. Also working with a Saxophone quartet as my accompaning instruments made it difficult to figure out how to fill in all the parts and double what I wanted and only move when needed.

To be honest, I'm so happy with how it sounds on Finale, even with the creapy Midi instruments. It still has a creepy sound too it and using Bartok still allows for some of the converstation and snide remarks Rasputin makes during the song that aren't sung. Now I'm so excited to put this on stage because I know my Rasputin can handle this sneaky and creepy song as a performer very well!!! I told Madison earlier to be ready cause I finished one of her main songs; Brian, you better be ready for yours!!! (And Damian, but I think Brian has the harder gig in this one!).

Victory is mine! This song is done (well, until I edit it later once all the music is done :))
