The music was very clearly 1950s pianist style, and sounds completely inappropriate now. <br /><br />I wrote some songs about <i>The Voyage of the Dawn Treader</i> in the 1980s, rather vaguely envisioning them in a musical. I long ago let them go, as I did 90% of my music, but what I recall was about 50% things that would still sound okay, 50% music that reeked of my 60s-70s folksinger era and would be embarrassing now.<br /><br />I prefer my choice of the Tallis Canon even more now.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-49310268515704024992019-03-31T23:17:03.488-04:002019-03-31T23:17:03.488-04:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=690OiCByWRchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=690OiCByWRcjameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-66464198376823394762019-03-31T22:32:02.575-04:002019-03-31T22:32:02.575-04:00On the rare occasion that we have video of him sin...On the rare occasion that we have video of him singing them, they always sound different that I had in my head. It's a fine and beautify tradition, to which we have limited access. Good for you for trying to find it out.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.com
