Earlier this month our friend Dave Chorley ask for some help with the music for a show at one of our local theaters (Stages). He needed a flute player to play the main theme for Death of a Salesmen so he could mix it into the show for dramatic effect. (Something he is very good at!)
I have played the flute for almost 18 years, but the the last 9 have mostly been in the privacy of my own home. He sent me the tracks and I got to transpose the music into flute music. Something I hadn't done since my music classes in college! It was way fun and I remembered more then I thought I would. We met up twice to record the different music.
Dave got Gabe and I comp tickets to see opening night. It was so cool to hear all the music and hear how he mixed in my playing with the rest of the music for the show. It was very nice to be a part of something on the instrumental end of a performance!
The show was wonderful! Death of a Salesmen is not the most "happy-go-lucky" show in the world, that's for sure. The actors and director did a great job playing the realness of the sad situation. I love it when you forget your are watching actors on a stage because you are so caught up in their story. Well done Stages Theater.
If you are interested in seeing this well done, classic show, go to www.stagesoc.org
Thanks Dave for letting me join you on this journey! Good times had my all!
