A MishMash of Mickey, Music and Mumblings

This is my personal blog and acts as a notebook of my thoughts which mainly rotate around Music, Disney and just life in general. I'll Always be around so if you want advice on anything, just ask :)

The Saxophone Family

Bari sax: So pure. A gentle giant. But with mighty power you don't want to have against you

Tenor sax: Sass. Pure sass. So much awesomeness that it is always revered higher than its commoner siblings

Alto sax: Full of great potential but too cocky for its own good

Soprano sax: Can be an angelic cinnamon roll; such golden tone like smoothy smooth honey... or a devilish squeaky tube that shrieks like a music major at juries with worse intonation than a trumpet player on the violin

Sopranino sax: Mouse. Smol, EVIL mouse with a stone-cold heart that will break your eardrums with no regrets

Bass sax: A massive, reverberating crossbreed between a low-frequency chainsaw and a whale screaming at full volume

Contrabass sax: None have been seen in the wild since 1767

Subcontrabass sax: what

In association with the music boxes, may I add Madeon’s Adventure Machine. You don’t have to be a fan to have some fun with this thing.

I also have found great calming (oddly) from playing Sushi Cat and its sequels, available for free on Armor Games: http://armorgames.com/play/5379/sushi-cat

It’s free, very cute, has cute music and animations, and is oddly meditative.  Yes, I spent 3 hours on the bathroom floor playing it once during a very anxious family visit.

[clamperls]

i think we all need this today

[mad4turtles]

I agree

[s-ound-wave]

I always find rhythm games really relaxing. Theatrhythm, Symphonica and Voez are all have very different music styles.

[sw-or-gtfo-deactivated20211219]

these are very calming

On Friday afternoons during the production of “Mary Poppins,” Walt Disney would call Richard Sherman, (of the Sherman brothers who composed the “Mary Poppins” music), to his office. Facing the window, he would say “Play it,” at which point, Sherman would sit at the piano and play “Feed the Birds.” Walt would stand pensively at the window, misty eyed.

Long after Walt Disney passed away, Sherman would still stop into his office on a Friday afternoon and play the song that was so near to Disney’s heart.

Though the song “When you Wish Upon a Star” is the hallmark of Disney, “Feed the Birds” is essential to what Walt stood for: the idea that it does not take much to show love whether it is manifested in a bag of bird seed, or a ten minute cartoon about a steamboat and one very special mouse.

I will never say I don’t care for that song ever again.

Santino Fontana on auditioning for Frozen:

“So basically, all that they told me about the character was he’s super confident, perhaps overly confident, he needs to be able to sing with a "Broadway sound” and he’s really good with women, but he may have a dark side. I came into the sound studio and I was very nervous and I sang this.“

[shining-magically]

YES OMG A RECORDING EXISTS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, THIS IS WHAT HE AUDITIONED FOR HANS WITH

[shining-magically]

Lord Jesus what have I done

[iflip4dolphins-blog]

I THINK YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HOW HANS THIS SONG IS

HE’S NOT SINGING “I feel pretty,” HE’S SINGING “I am pretty.”

AND THIS IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

NO WONDER HE GOT THE PART

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers… We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything”.

I think almost all of his stories have a deeper meaning and Horton Hears a who was written as an apology to the Japanese after WWII

Take a look at these men, chances are if you follow this blog, they shaped your childhood. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken were brought onto The Little Mermaid project back when it was still being developed. Mind you the fate of Disney animation was hanging quite literally on this film, as most of the films Disney had done prior to that in the 80’s were becoming such flops and financial bombs the animation department was hanging by its teeth.

So they decided to do a big hurrah, go back to the fairy tales of their youth and hopefully translate it and bring in a new audience. So when the chair of Disney animation was making this film, they knew they were going to need music and songs that would compare to the old classics. That’s when David Geffen (Co founder of Dreamworks) decided to recommend Howard and Alan since he was producing their (Now famous) musical Little shop of Horror’s. The dynamic duo proved to be spectacular and even won an academy award for their song Under the sea.

Howard Ashman was the Playwright and Lyricist and Alan Menken was the Composer. Together they went on to create such classic soundtracks found in Disney’s (arguably best three film’s out of the renaissance period.) Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and of course The little Mermaid. Unfortunately during the production phases of Beauty and the Beast, Howard Ashman grew ill. The team and producers had to fly out to where he lived in order to work with him as he was gravely sick. He like unfortunately many other lgbt people during that time had contracted AIDS. Even so he was able to work through it and even write some more lyrics for the upcoming feature Aladdin. To say that Howard played an integral part of Disney history would be an understatement. He and Alan among many others helped build and shape Disney to the current state that it is today, they brought Disney animation back when it was almost on its last breath.

On March 10, 1991, the Disney animators had their first screening for Beauty and the Beast and it was considered by many an enormous success. After the screening the crew and Alan Menken hurried right away to visit Howard in the hospital. He was 80 pounds, lost all of his sight, and could barely speak. His mother showed the animators that he was wearing a Beauty and the Beast sweatshirt. The animators told him that the film was incredibly well received by the press and described to him in detail how it had gone. He nodded appreciatively to the news. As everyone said their goodbyes, producer Don Hahn leaned over to Howard and said, “Beauty and the Beast is going to be a great success. Who’d have thought it?”, to which Ashman replied with “I would have.” Four days later, on March 14, Ashman died following complications from AIDS at the age of 40. 

They had Beauty and the Beast dedicated to him: 

“To our friend Howard, who gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul, we will be forever grateful. Howard Ashman 1950–1991.

Today we celebrate the film that brought the renaissance to life and the people who helped make that happen. Happy 25th Anniversary Little Mermaid. Thank you Howard Ashman and Alan Menken.

I feel today Howard is somewhere smiling. Congrats guys.
