- 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
-

-
- We know you will enjoy this music
- presentation, and perhaps these
- classics will bring back memories for
- you as well.
