Cinderella (2010) overture now complete…

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Hi folks, just posting to say that I’ve now completed the overture for Claire Goodwin theatre Arts School based in Winchester for their production of Cinderella scheduled for February 2010.

They’re setting the story in New York and it has a very up-beat storyline so that’s what I’ve gone for with this arrangement/composition.

Taking songs that will appear in the show, I’ve put together a snappy, fast-pase opening for the production, quite a bit shorter than stuff I’ve written for them in the past.

You can listen to a sample below. Enjoy…

DJ Leo B wins new commission…

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Well guys, its official, I’ve been commissioned to write the overture for Cinderella on Broadway, a new panto going up in the first quarter of 2010! Its gonna be set in the 50s so that’s a new chalange for me, but hey, I like chalanges! I’m thinking Guys And Dolls, that kinda jazzy Big Band sound! Yea!

Oh for all you Americans out there, panto, short for pantomime, is a great British tradition. I’m not going to give it to ya on a plate though, go and look it up if you don’t know what its all about! See, this is a very interactive, mind-expanding blog!

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Earlier this year the Theatre Arts school I used to teach at put on their production of Alice In Wonderland in Winchester. Although I’m no longer working for the school as a teacher, I still write and arrange music for them on occasion, and here’s a sample of the overture I wrote for the show. Enjoy…
