Now that the "Ariel's Way" video is in the can, I'm completing and correcting the score, sound effects, incidental music, and rehearsal CDs for inclusion in the performance package. This week, Beverly Botsford, Tony Bowman and I got together at Tony's studio to record the drum parts for the "Lime Grove" piece that spans the show's two acts.
Beverly brought a beautiful array of African drums and bells, and we had fun hearing the thunder and designing a clear way to present the parts to musicians who might have little experience with the rhythms of Mali and Guinea.
One of the strengths of the "Ariel's Way" score is how much musical territory it covers, with careful attention, at every turn, to stylistic detail.
