Re: [Harp-L] Shakespeare and the harmonica

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's awesome. So who is singing that? Which character, I mean. Is that Sebastian singing to Viola? 
  I always thought Twelfth Night would be a good one to set down in the Mississippi Delta somewhere. A lot of Shakespeare's stuff would be a good candidate for something like that, something like what they did with the Odyssey and apply it to the Depression South in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" 
   
   
   Shameless promotion time, but I did a video a few weeks ago about vocal expression on harmonica, I did the dagger soliloquy from MacBeth.

  You ought to put that scene on youtube.

  I just completed a 9 week tour as musical director and resident composer
for the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival's 2008 summer season. For a
contemporary production of The Twelfth Night, I scored one of the songs
for voice and harmonica and appeared onstage to play harp while the actor
sang the words. I had so much fun with this piece that I've started
incorporating it into my solo gigs. The song is "O Mistress Mine" and I'm
singing and playing harp on this demo recording:

Those - like me - who enjoy hearing harmonica used in new contexts or any
Shakespeare fans with a harmonica obsession are invited to do a drive-by.

Cheers,

Ed
