If I may take a short break from the photo meme, I would like to post a "new" song that I've been working on. I mentioned a few posts ago that I had started work on a new album project. I'm going through and finding great songs from lesser-known musicals that I hope will eventually gel into a theme. Then I'm completely reorchestrating them and recording them. The goal, when it's all done (if it ever gets all done, mind you) is that I'll have an album of 12-15 fully-orchestrated songs in the style that I'm most adept at singing. Or was most adept at singing, once upon a time.
The first song is from the musical Weird Romance. The music is by Alan Menken of Disney musical fame (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hercules, Tangled, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas, Newsies, Enchanted, Tangled). This was one of his many collaborations with the late, great Howard Ashman. It's a strange little show. Two one-act plays sandwiched together, with the only tie between the acts a really unusual paranormal/sci-fi flavor and the "theme" of romance. It's got some fantastic music, though. This is one of those shows that I would give my big left toe to do, even though nobody ever does this show.
Anyway, here's the slightly-rough mix of My Orderly World.
