"Somewhere in Time" Headed to the Stage — Page 2

Didn't John Barry create his own orchestrations around Rhapsody on a Theme?

---

So says my film score. However, it confuses me when they have "Somewhere In Time" by Barry, "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" by Swiatkowski, and "Theme from Somewhere in Time" by Williams. All three have the same melody.

---

Oh, nothing could make me forget the theme from the film, be it by a classical or a modern composer. It's just one of those things for me.

You don't realize how pissed I was when I saw this. I love Somewhere in Time. In fact, I was writing a musical version of it. As of this date I'm half-way through Act II. It took me over three years to do all that. Now it's all worthless, wasted paper and wasted time.

Thanks for the advice. See, I thought that it would just be performed at my local community theater, not majorly, so I thought getting rights wouldn't be a big priority. I know now that I was completely wrong. Before I get any further with my other projects I'll secure rights.

ON TOPIC:
I think the Rachmaninoff song should stay because it was what the music box played. You can't...well, shouldn't really, change something as major and important as the Music Box's Theme. That's like changing the characters genders. (In my mind, at least.)
