I already put this up at Film Score Monthly, but for you all:
http://americancomposers.org/rel20050223.htm#elfman
The best news:
“Elfman’s Serenada Schizophrana is scored for large orchestra, electronics, two pianos, and female voices. Joining ACO in the premiere are the ACO Singers, directed by Judith Clurman.”
I’m ooh-ooh-oohing as I type!
I can’t wait. I’m broke but I was not going to miss this. The ACO usually doesn’t drwa a crowd so even if you’re worried, you can easily score tickets outside Carnegie for 10 bucks. I should have gone ahead and got the good seats, but the cheapies will do me just fine.
I hope he attends his premiere.DAMN, what I would give to be there. The best news would be a CD release. If there isn’t one, I will chop off my ears!!!
that sounds like a great mix of electronics and live orchestration to me!i love that, wish i could hear it.! i wonder has danny gone all out and orchestrated this one himself??
electronics??????!!!! I lose all my hopes……. Damn electronic music….
but, alex, hopefully in the concert hall it wont be a synth and orchestra mess like most of the action music in his recent films. and this is a concert piece, no one even knows if he’ll pull it off yet. it could be crap! writing for the concert hall is a different thing than writing for film. i remeber a while back some hollywood film composer( cant remember who) wrote a piece commissioned by the BBC for the lso and it was fucking awful. but danny could pull it off maybe
Elfman’s not dumb. He knows what he’s gotten into and it’s probably exciting him. With all of the super-hero movies and maybe turning fifty recently, he’s looking for new challenges. good for him. David Newman is premiering a piece with Indiana, and he usues orchestrators, Don Davis writes lots of concert music, and he uses orchestrators for his films, so does Williams. I HOPE and expect that Elfman will orchestrate himself. I know he is a composer, but he writes his way and I’m excited about the electronics element….anyway, I suppoe we’ll see.
what difference does it make? you give the same sketches to 5 different orchestrators and you will get five different sounding pieces. In the studio, Elfman produces, and makes it come out the way he want it. In the concert hall, it’s supposed to be prepared before the performance.
Don’t worry about electronics. Danny Elfman makes wonderful use of them among an orchestral score. Look at Spider-Man and Hulk.

I don’t understand, won’t Elfman overlook the orchestra preparations with an orchestrator before the performance, like he does with a film score?
