Vocal Music Direction

All recordings from performances.

Vocal music direction/arrangement by Robert Gannon.

  • The Sound of Music, Morning Hymn

  • The Sound of Music, The Lonely Goatherd

    After viewing the choreography, I reassigned all the solos leading into the key change to give Maria a chance to catch her breath and show off the von Trapp children.
  • The Sound of Music, No Way to Stop It

  • Once Upon a Mattress, "Many Moons Ago"

    Transposed by Robert Gannon
  • Once Upon a Mattress, "Sensitivity"

  • Once Upon a Mattress, "Quiet"

    "Quiet," as licensed in Once Upon a Mattress, is a total mess. The vocal score does not line up with the script or the orchestral score. The script has different lyrics and arrangements than the orchestral and vocal score and the orchestral score has no indication of when or why any lyrics happen other than "Bravo, Bravo, Bravissimo" and the following screams. I threw out everything except for the temple blocks, dance break, and ending cadence. I reworked the song to feature the Queen, the Wizard, Sir Harry, and the entire ensemble. I arranged the round and set all the physical rhythms performed by the cast.
