It is based on the 1950 film of the same title. Music is an original arrangement by Andy Carvill - I made up this introduction, so those bars need to be included in the skeleton version. Then it's a matter of deciding the 'orchestration' - which instruments, when do they come in/go out of the arrangement, how to build the song, is there an instrumental section etc, etc. So I write lots of bullet point notes such as 'Flute come in at bar 32, out at bar 40'...'Timpanies roll in bar 48, cymbal crash bar 49' etc, etc. plus lots of scribbles on the score. I pretty much always use the metronome on the keyboard to help me glue everything together and I also add things in on the fly...let's add a Harp run in here, emphasise this phrase with an extra sound added on top...and so on. This arrangement is pretty long and 'big' orchestral and probably took me 5 > 6 days, but not every hour of the day, maybe 10 hours within those days. But working with Susie is a joy because she has the ability to mould her performance around my arrangement. As I have mentioned before it should be the other way round! Andy sent me his track and I rehearsed for days and then came the magic day when I did about ten takes and the final vocal was edited and then mastered on Logic Pro X to commercial studio quality using some pretty special plug ins. This process was done over several days. 26th September 2022 Powered by bactrax.org.uk |
