Ethereal Shroud - Trisagion (Northern Silence) Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal Artwork: Phil Lang Bandcamp
kind of insane that Gottlob Frege wanted to eliminate miscommunication with a perfect logical language back in the 1800s and we took his work and used it to build the most perfect miscommunication machine known to man (The Internet)
People don't know much about orchestration as a rule; it's one of the undersung aspects of the musical. But no musical had quite such a saga of orchestration as Annie Get Your Gun.
Irving Berlin wrote the score; Rodgers and Hammerstein produced, and Phil Lang was asked to orchestrate Berlin's music. He was reasonably early in his career and would go on to orchestrate hits like Hello, Dolly! and My Fair Lady - but here, he tried to create an orchestral sound where the melody was not given to the singers. Normally there is a line for the singers to hold to, often the clarinet in that era. Legend has it that the sitzprobe was a disaster; the cast was not used to music without the leading line and Rodgers and Hammerstein insisted that the orchestrations be rewritten from scratch before the impending opening.
Phil Lang still has the first credit, but he was fired from production. The other orchestrators credited are Robert Russell Bennett, arguably the most famous orchestrator of the time, and Ted Royal. However, extant scores show that as many as 25 orchestrators were called in to finish the job, "ghosting" as a favour as was not uncommon in that era. As a result, Annie Get Your Gun is possibly the musical where the finished product has been touched by the largest number of orchestrators - does this affect the style? Arguably not - ghosting was common in that era and most orchestrators were quite good at blending to the dominant sound. A side of musical theatre that few know about!

BAMM.tv Presents: Phil Lang - "Yosemite"
Lang sings "Now I know who I was, now I know who I'm not" in this country-tinged tune about being caught between two chapters of life. In other words, a song about coming to terms with getting older.
BAMM.tv Presents: Phil Lang - "Keychains"
Shot on the rooftop of BAMM.tv's San Francisco office, this tune locks in on one of those required moments of a relationship that's coming to an end - the returning of apartment keys.
BAMM.tv Presents, This One's For You: "Stands Still"
"Stands Still" features San Francisco songwriter Phil Lang performing a song about combat for Bill DeWitt, a Vietnam Vet who spent the 25+ years after the war as a substance abuse and family therapist. Lang's song serves as a doorway into an unflinching conversation covering DeWitt's harrowing experience in Vietnam, his observations of the long-term effects of war on Veterans, and how the culpability of war is becoming more distant to the civilian public. Shot at the beautiful Albany Memorial Building (Albany, CA).
