Title
Disc type
Ave Maria - Bach - Gounod

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

Transcription from a Mira 18" Disc

 

Early One Morning

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

An Old English Folk Song

 

1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

This disc has the most notes of any 15.5" Disc I have done.
Difficult to get the cannon shots on a music box!

 

Still, Still, Still

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

The melody is a traditional folk song from the State of Salzberg. With words, it is known as an Austrian Christmas Carol and Lullaby.

 

Andante - Symphony 6. I (Pathetique) Tchaikovsky

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

From Tchaikovsky's final completed symphony. According to Wikipedia, "Pathetique" means either "passionate" or "emotional".

 

Nimrod

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

One of the variations in Edward Elgar's "Enigma Variations"

 

Linger In Blissful Repose

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

A sweet, relaxed Stephen Foster melody.

 

Morning Mood

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

Another piece from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt.

 

Galway Bay

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

A straight-forward Irish arrangment.

 

Air (On the G String)

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

For the music box arrangement, I listened to Bach's original music: Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068, rather than August Wilhelmj's arrangement.

 

Concerto #21 2nd Mv. Mozart

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

Associated with the film "Elvira Madigan".

 

Polonaise, Op. 53 Chopin

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

A solo piano piece, often played at piano competitions the world over. Chopin is great fun to try to get onto a music box disc.

 

Onward Christian Soldiers

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

The well-known English Hymn

 

Chopin Nocturne Opus 9.2

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

A "Nocturne" is alternately described as a musical piece 'inspired by the night', or 'usually played in the evening'.

 

Von fremden Ländern und Menschen

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

From Robert Schumnn's piano pieces "Scenes from Childhood"

 

The Gay Gordons

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

thanks to Bob Mersey for the original Polyphon disc after which this arrangement is closely based.

 

Zu Bethlehem Geboren

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

Another Christmas Carol from Germany, although the melody supposedly comes from an old French song "Une petite solid".

 

Alle Jahre Wieder

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

A pretty Christmas Carol melody, most well-known in Germany

 

In The Hall Of The Mountain King - Grieg

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

From Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite.

I first heard this in Fritz Lang's early sound film "M"...very creepy!

 

Magic Flute Glockenspiel

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

From Wikipedia:

The keyboard glockenspiel (French: jeu de timbre) or organ glockenspiel[clarification needed] is an instrument consisting of a glockenspiel operated by a piano keyboard.

Half a century later, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart employed a strumento d’acciaio in The Magic Flute (1791) to represent Papageno's magic bells.

 

I Want A Girl (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad)

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

Popular song of 1911 composed by Harry Von Tilzer.

Arranged in 'Parlor Song' style, with hints of Barbershop Quartet.

Regina/Polyphon 15.5"

Rag-time Skedaddle

Regina/Polyphon 15.5" and Similarly Sized Discs

written by George Rosey
adapted from Aeolian 8089 Piano Roll

I am experimenting with trying to put Ragtime Piano Roll performances onto larger music box discs. This requires quite a bit of adapting/modification, especially in the bass. I wonder whether Ragtime 'purists' will approve! Opinions invited.

Winter

Regina/Polyphon 15.5" and Similarly Sized Discs

written by Albert Gumble in 1910.
Popular version by Spike Jones

Charmaine

Regina/Polyphon 15.5" and Similarly Sized Discs
This version is adapted from a custom 19 5/8" Polyphon disc I recently arranged.

Quoting from Wikipedia:

The song was originally composed for the 1926 silent movie What Price Glory?, and most notably, the best-selling version, recorded by Guy Lombardo & his Orchestra, spent seven weeks at the #1 position in 1927.[1] It was also featured in the movie Two Girls and a Sailor. It was recorded by the Harry James orchestra in 1944.

October 31, 2013

I've added a few new Regina 15.5" Christmas Discs arranged with a DESCANT.
Wikipedia describes Hymn Tune descants as " counter-melodies, generally at a higher pitch than the main melody", and quotes Athelstan Riley as writing of descants "The effect is thrilling; it gives the curious impression of an ethereal choir joining in the worship below; and those who hear it for the first time often turn and look up at the roof!"

In these discs (See new release listings above) I've tried to capture the essence of descant, usually in the second half of the tune.

In the past, arrangements of mine have found their way into such places as The Phantom Manor (EuroDisney attraction), the homes of Tom T. Hall (Country Recording Artist) and Walt Disney, and were featured on Bjork's Grammy Nominated (2002) Album, 'Vespertine' (Frosti, Cocoon, Pagan Poetry). My version of 'Sweetheart of Sigma Chi' was heard in the 1981 movie 'Ghost Story', Fred Astaire's final film. Lately, my harmonization of 'Ablassen' was heard introducing CBS' "Sunday Morning".
