#0Favourite Song-for a different reason
Posted: 2/7/04 at 12:03pmWhat's your favorite song in terms of the orchestration? Forget the melodies, harmonies, & lyrics. What song has the best...music in it? I do hope that makes sense.

I love the orchestrations for
STARS AND THE MOON from Songs from a New World
and yes the Ragtime Orchestrations are brilliant.
oh and i forgot....
Julia McKenzie's Broadway Album... her version of I DREAMED A DREAM with the London Philharmonic with the violin counter melody of the tune is so amazing!
