Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows if the ‘Overeager Overture’ will be released on CD at any point? Has anyone heard it?
Regards,
Christopher
As far as I know, there are no plans to release this, but I hope that changes!
The piece is about 8.5 minutes long and contains several little “movements” which are all quite charming.
The opening/conclusion is a bit reminiscent of Aaron Copeland’s classic “hoe-down” music, and uses a theme that’s a bit similar to the “In The Mud” cue from Charlotte’s Web. The following sections really evoke an old school Hollywood musical feel. There’s a big showy Hollywood fanfare, and my favorite bit: an epic flute theme which first appears half way through and gets a wonderful heroic treatment.
All in all, I’m not sure how this would get released unless it shows up on a compilation of some sort. Of course, my hope is that Elfman writes 4 or 5 more of these and that the success of ‘Serenada Schizophrana’ encourages one of the labels to put up the cash to record them all and do a proper release.
The recent perf with the Detroit Symphony will be broadcasted in the future. When on what, I don’t know yet. More soon hopefully.
