Hi all,
I play piano for an amateur choral group near where I live, and when we put on concerts I am often asked to perform a solo, usually of classical music, since that's what I'm educated in.
However, in August we are doing a more light-and-bright concert, and I've decided to write an arrangement of some of the music (by ear) from the first LBT film and to perform it as my solo. As some of you know, the composer James Horner was killed recently in a plane crash, and though I'd already started writing the medley before his death, I've decided to complete it as a tribute to his memory, as he wrote the music to many of my favourite films as a child (The Pagemaster, Jumanji, etc).
I'm not in charge of filming the concert, so there might be a wait until I can get a copy of the concert and upload my solo to show you guys, but I'll get it as soon as I can. The music is only from the soundtrack of the first film in the series, and I've used most of the main themes from the film, including The Great Migration, If We Hold On Together, and Whispering Winds (Littlefoot's Mother's death scene).
I'll be uploading the recording
here, on my Youtube channel, where I put all my arrangements.
Thanks for reading, and I can't wait for you to hear it!
Matthew
