Tribute to Thomas Rusiak . Hiphopper

Christopher O’Hare (1867 - c. 1943) composed “Sea Song” in 1918 "for surf scenes, on the sea, sailors etc.” as part of Oliver Ditson’s “Music for the photoplay” series, intended to accompany movies in the silent era. It’s a late romantic theater orchestra composition — a rolling 12/8 time blizzard of arpeggios. Though brief, it could have been looped for longer scenes. 

Our recording started using Optical Music Recognition (OMR) applied to scans of the original copies of theater orchestra parts from 1918. The OMR product was edited in Dorico, assembled into a score and exported to Logic Pro to be recorded with sampled instruments. 

This piece was interpreted rather freely: the original organ part was mostly omitted, with the retained parts being performed by a synthetic choir. The low brass melody -- written for trombone - was recorded using a Euphonium sample.

The artwork is based on a Currier and Ives hand colored lithograph captioned “A squall off Cape Horn”. The print was originally published between 1840 and 1890. Library of Congress bookmark: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/97514621/.

Sea Song (Christopher O'Hare)

Here is an open, or introductory production, that I created for The Leadoff Spot with Steve Phillips and Todd Hollandsworth, which airs Monday through Friday from 7am-10am ET on MLB Network Radio - Sirius 209, XM 89.  This impersonation-themed open - which is definitely one of my favorites that I've put together thus far - has a lot of moving parts in it, including a previous on-air conversation with SiriusXM host Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo and an audio snippet of Allen Iverson's infamous "practice" rant.  The icing on the cake, though, was Steve's live reaction to the ending song.  Listen for yourself, and enjoy!
