SID Transcription by
Corky Cochran
Text by Dave Moorman
Dave Marquis is the acclaimed
Master of Classical SID Music here at
LOADSTAR. In fact, the 135th through
139th floors have been completely
gutted and converted into the Marquis
Auditorium of Three Voice Symphonic
Masterpieces.
Be that as it may, the fact that
someone has "done" something, even
with the expertise and panache that
Dave brought to SID music, does not
mean the matter is closed. Creativity
cannot be held hostage! And Corky
Cochran has accepted the challenge to
bring his own excellent style to
classical SID transcriptions. And he
has succeeded spectacularly!
Many of the songs in this
collection hold special memories for
me. "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes"
was a piano number I struggled with
for a major portion of my formal
training. (Implying that my formal
training did not get me very far!
Which is true!)
"Sonata in C, 1st Movement" was a
favorite Swingle Singer piece. Some of
you will remember the Swingle Singers,
who sang classic and pop music using
jazz syllabolic vocalizations. I had
so completely memorized their version
of this song that I nearly flunked
Music Appreciation by not being able
to identify the various phrases.
And finally, "Hungarian Dance No.
5" is the score of a favorite Alan
Sherman song -- "Hungarian Goulash".
The program this month includes:
Go, Forget Me
Wolfgang A. Mozart
Away With Melancholy
Wolfgang A. Mozart
Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes
Wolfgang A. Mozart
Sonata in C, 1st Movement
Wolfgang A. Mozart
Sleep and Rest
Wolfgang A. Mozart
Waltz No. 15
Johannes Brahms
Hungarian Dance No. 5
Johannes Brahams
We know you will enjoy this music
presentation, and perhaps these
classics will bring back memories for
you as well.
