A more personal welcome
Thank you for your work on Malcolm Arnold - you wouldn't be a grubby little urchin from Padstow by any chance? :) DuncanHill 15:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I too like the appropriate username - found myself humming the main tune of the overture when I saw that you had worked on the Arnold page! Welcome from me as well. BencherliteTalk 13:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks all! No I am not from Padstow! ;) Just trying to improve the article a little! Beckus 13:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

However will check Johnson's book when
back at library in a few weeks, and if its claim has no source that can be checked that's more than sufficient grounds for removing it again, of course. Schissel | Sound the Note! 18:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Douglas/Addinsell
Hi, Beckus. Thanks for that very interesting bit of information. I've taken the opportunity to re-evaluate the current wording and I don't believe it's inconsistent with what we're saying about Douglas's contribution. Nowhere do we state that he composed any of the music in the sense of coming up with tunes independently of Addinsell. He orchestrated Addinsell's ideas, with guidance from him about which instruments played what. But my reading of your quote is that Addinsell did not specify the complete instrumentation down to the last triangle - it was broad brush strokes and main instruments only, which Douglas had to fill out with his own knowledge of what worked best. That's what I understand by "...I would eventually take my draft away and complete scoring in all details...". -- JackofOz (talk) 20:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Again, very interesting info about how methods vary. We're in unison about the distinctions between composition, orchestration and arranging.  So, I'm a little unsure as to what it is that you have an issue with.  --  JackofOz (talk) 08:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
