That Dare Not Speak Its Name
This blog's mission statement compels me to monitor closely all cases of choral music-science fiction convergence. Thus I blogged the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performing on the soundtrack of Advent Rising, a new computer game. Well, I noticed the press release announcing the game's release says something funny:
Composition and sound design was created by award-winning composer and video game sound designer Tommy Tallarico, who enlisted the talents of a world famous operatic choir and their complimenting children's choir united to perform the music's extraordinary chorus.So now the MTC is called an "operatic choir?" What's up with that? Is the MTC brand unknown to the younger generation? (Then "world-famous" must refer to a world very alien to the one gamers live in.) Or are they thinking that little word "Mormon" would frighten the horses? (And they thought "operatic" wouldn't? Very confusing.) So, what operas do you think the MTC performs? I suppose Falstaff would be their signature work (with all those merry wives of Windsor). Other than that, I can't imagine.
Umie the Umlaut says, "ask your doctor about the Fredösphere!"

Jerry Springer - the Opera?
Desert Song (I know, it is a musical instead of an opera)?
I am looking for a brilliant Mormon composer to write the score for "An American Prophet," a wonderful, touching, and quite factual show about Joseph Smith and his book of Mormon; Perhaps the most important musical about Mormon history ever. Click www.SidneyGoldbergWriter.com and read this wonderful show and start writing.
You'll see I write up a storm: book and lyrics to 20 funny and dramatic musicals, eight have been completed and up for production, six are being written by some of the most important composers, (see bio)
For Broadway, click "The Overwhelming Truth,'" and "Shine'em UP," two great shows If I disturbed your privacy, please forgive me and donot respond otherwise write a couple of tunes and lets get going.
