Song of the Day #48

"Married Life - From Main Street, U.S.A." by Muchael Giacchino from Walt Disney Records the Legacy Collection: Disneyland, 2016

[lets-talk-archives]

Corporate Archives

In season one episode five of HBO’s drama Succession, Tom Wambsgans sends Cousin Greg to go destroy documents related to a secret Waystar-RoyCo company scandal that he's inherited. The scene is played comedic, as leaving Thanksgiving to go execute Tom’s immoral scheme is yet another trial Greg must endure to prove himself within the Roy family and company, but later in the show this action snowballs out of control all the way to U.S. Senate hearings. Mass destruction of archival records to cover up an international scandal is… not great! It is, however, a good example of large scale corporate archives, as Greg must identify himself and sign the documents out, leaving a paper trail that inevitably catches up to him and Tom. As an employee of the company, he is able to access these archives, unlike a member of the general public.

Corporate archives can contain the history of corporations, information about the employees and board members, and maybe even history relevant to other nations (think about matters like overseas sourcing for materials for manufacturing). The wheel of capitalism is, unfortunately, ever turning, and capitalism is deeply entrenched in the history the U.S. and other countries. Many corporate archives are not open access and the general non-stakeholder public often only sees what the corporations have elected to keep and share.

Bureaucratically, archives are imperative to the corporation itself for constructing its own narrative and legacy, along with being able to examine past business decisions. They can even be used for publicity; the Walt Disney Archives frequently tour museums with showy items from their collection like film costumes and vehicles and memorabilia from their theme parks. These contribute to a positive association of the company in the eye of the public.

Why think about low cast member wages when you can look at the first ever Disneyland ticket issued instead?

I'm not pretending I'm above reproach, by the way, since that photo is from my own visit to an exhibit put on by the Walt Disney Archives and I deeply enjoyed the experience. No matter how you feel about any given corporation, however, we should all care about open record-keeping for the sake of transparency and accountability relating to how millions of dollars get moved around--and at whose expense.

#3yrsago Walt Disney Records Legacy Collection: 20 hours' worth of rarities, 12 books' worth of history

The Legacy Collection plunders the deepest depths of the Disney sound archive to collect, with unprecedented completeness, the audio histories of 11 classic animated films from each era of the Disney Studios, from Lady and the Tramp and Aristocats to Little Mermaid and the Lion King to Toy Story and Wreck-It Ralph, with one more CD devoted just to Disneyland. Each disc contains the full score of a film from opening to closing credits, unreleased rarities, and bonus material. Then there's the books.

Each of the 12 discs comes with a rich illustrated book, featuring new art by Lorelay Bove. The books include liner notes in which composers, musicians, animators and other production personnel recount previously untold oral histories of the music that underpins Disney's animation, unifying it every bit as much as the storytelling and art styles.

There's more than 47,000 words of liner notes in those pages, and more than 20 hours' worth of audio on the discs. Listening to the demos in which the legends of Disney music, from Ashman and Menken to the Shermans give notes to singers whose music I've thrilled to literally all my life is an incredible experience, like getting in a time machine.

The archivists who produced this collection went beyond all reason and commercial consideration in pulling this together (I know a few of them). They are part of the trufan machine at Disney who gild releases that celebrate craft and pride, spending money that isn't needed to maximize profit, but is definitely required to maximize art. Disney is full of those people, they're like the people who joined Google because "don't be evil" mattered to them. Like those googlers, these Disney personnel don't harbor any illusions about the company's complement of people who don't share their beliefs (or at least, wouldn't let them get in the way of profits). But they're there because they believe it and it matters to them. People with a sense of mission make everything worth caring about in this world.

The 20 hours of audio in this collection tell a story. Not the story in the movies -- the story of the movies. The story of how successive generations of composers, musicians and storytellers taught their progeny all they knew, and of how their progeny ran with that knowledge, expanding the art, bringing in material from the stage and other studios and pop.

I've been listening to this for months, and every so often I've gotten the discs down off my shelves and paged through Bove's exquisitely painted miniatures, illustrations that have a direct lineage to Mary Blair, and let myself experience the work of people who cared about what they did and changed the lives of millions of others in so doing. I've owned a lot of Disney records over the years, starting with a scratched and worn-out "Official Album of Disneyland and Walt Disney World," but nothing, nothing comes close to this.

The folks at Disney music have posted some of the unreleased material for your listening pleasure, and provided us with some exclusive liner notes excerpts.

Here's "The Chimpanzoo," a track that didn't make it into Mary Poppins:

This never-heard Sherman Brothers track was originally part of the "high tea" scene at Uncle Albert's place. It describes a zoo where the humans are in cages and the animals walk around, wathcing them curiously. Walt Disney cut it to keep it from overshadowing "I Love to Laugh."

Next is "Le Jazz Hot," from Aristocats, performed by Ty Taylor:

From The Lion King's liner notes, producer Don Hahn explains how they cast an expatriate South African singer working as a carhop to feature in the soundtrack:

Lebo M was a South African singer, songwriter who had worked with Hans (Zimmer) on the soundtrack of a few films. He’d been parking cars in L.A. to make ends meet. He was going to be the perfect voice for the film, just one thing: Lebo had disappeared… as if by fate, Lebo dropped by to say hello just hours before we all arrived. Hans pulled him off the street and put him in front of a microphone. There wasn’t even a glass divider to separate him from the room full of engineers and filmmakers eating Chinese food.  

Hans played “Circle of Life” for us for the first time. We listened to it and then the directors, Rob Minkoff, Roger Allers and I huddled in the corner to talk. Hans thought he was getting fired. Instead, it was magical and we wanted more. This time they were after a cry in the wilderness that would beacon the animals to Pride Rock in the opening scene. It was a “John the Baptist” thing, only African.” Lebo stepped up and gave his now famous cry that opens the movie and lives on in every stage version of the show since.

Here, composer Alan Menken tells the story of how he discovered his composing partner, Howard Ashman, was dying of AIDS:

Our mission was to create a new animated musical that could sit on the shelf alongside the earlier Disney classics, like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty and so many others. In my heart I embraced this mission like I had no other previously in my life... The AIDS crisis was in full bloom, and none of us knew how this could affect our lives and those of our children. And I was unaware of how dark and imminent the cloud was over my dear collaborator, Howard.

At the Governor’s Ball, following the Oscar ceremony, in which we had won Best Song for “Under the Sea” and I had won Best Score, Howard and I sat with our statuettes at the table and he said, “I want you to know I’m really happy tonight.  And when we get back to New York we have to talk.” I said, “Talk?  Talk about what?” And he insisted that we would wait to talk after we got back.

A few days later he told me that he was sick and all the things I had been trying to ignore and not acknowledge, now came crashing down around me… But, at the time, the thing I most remember was Howard saying, “I’m so glad you won the Best Score Oscar and I’m so glad we’ve had this huge success. Now I know you’re taken care of.”

Finally, Randy Newman explains how he came to write his score for Toy Story:

I believe I was given the job because John (along with Chris Montan) at Disney Music felt that the picture, in that it was the first computer-animated feature, might benefit by having an orchestral score. John told me he liked the music I wrote for Ragtime and for The Natural and the orchestral arrangements I did for some of my songs. I said, “That’s it? And the rest of it?  Just crap I guess.” He said, “No, no, it’s all great.” Anyway, he thought an orchestra might warm things up a bit should the film itself end up looking sort of techno and cold. It never did look that way.

“Strange Things.” The Pixar people always emphasize that the characters in their films are adults and deal with adult emotions. That’s really kind of a big idea. I always worry toward the end of their process when the picture is about to lock in terms of story, script and form if it’s funny enough. They never worry about that. They worry about emotion. Whether an audience will feel it. Whether it’s got, I think it’s called “heart.” Well, I can’t say it, but I can do it with music. And, about “heart,” you can’t put it there, like you sometimes can a joke. It’s got to proceed from who’s up there on the screen and if we care about what happens to them. It must be hard to do, but they’ve done it over and over like no other studio ever has.

Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

In This Edition

In this week's edition, I share a challenge from work that caused my faith to falter, what's new with my book reviews, an update on my playlists, what I've been enjoying in entertainment, and what's coming soon across my creative platforms. Feel free to send me your feedback simply by replying to this email. Thank you for reading, subscribing, and supporting!

Work

My biggest challenge this week came in the form of a phone call I had to make to my boss. My original plan was to return to work this week. Social distancing started right when Ark was born. We were planning to have our parents help us at home. But if I went back to work at the hospital, I could catch COVID-19 and put everyone at risk. It seemed like the wisest thing to do was to use as much of my family leave time as possible.

The hardest part was explaining this change of plans to my boss. I was scared, worried, and anxious. I thank God that my boss seemed understanding and I have the family leave time available. It truly is the providence of God. I am ashamed of my faltering faith but thankful for our faithful God. I am humbled but also emboldened to share and say that you can trust him to take care of you, too.

Book Reviews

I published two book reviews this week: Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs (a children's book) and American History (a textbook). I really enjoy reviewing these different types of books. For the children's books, I always show Linus and see if he is attracted to the pictures. I also look for illustrations that portray people of color. Of course, the content always matters and I look for Biblical truth.

American History was my first book received and reviewed for B&H Academic. I always have a little bit of imposter syndrome when I take on the academic books. But I've had my eyes on this one for a while and I found it quite an enjoyable and educational read. While I like to give away books to my church friends, I want to hold on to this one for my own reference. I hope to partner with B&H again soon.

Playlists

Keith and Kristyn Getty released a new single titled Christ Our Hope in Life and Death. It’s a triumphant song and perfect for the times.

Missing Disneyland made me search for the best way to play the music of the theme parks at home. I came across the Walt Disney - Legacy Collection: Disneyland playlist on Spotify. Nearly 500 tracks makes for 25 hours of non-stop Disneyland fun.

MUSICGOON: 10 songs I enjoyed this week.

SVRGNLA: Jess and I love these songs.

ETJ: Music that inspires my band.

DIDD: A crowd-sourced worship playlist.

TGIF: Crowd-sourced for SOLA Network.

This is FCBC Walnut: Sunday setlists.

Extended Play

My favorite article this week was How Kinfolk Defined the Millenial Aesthetic... and Unraveled Behind the Scenes. It was written by Lisa Abend for the March 2020 issue of Vanity Fair. It reads like a screenplay and I can see it being adapted into a movie a la David Fincher’s The Social Network.

Knowing I had another full week at home, Jess and I started watching The Infinity Saga by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We pretty much have the movies playing in the background throughout the day. I finally finished watching The Mandalorian. And 9 years ago, I wrote My First Tweet.

Throwback: My First Tweet 

Food: Froot Loops

Movie: The Infinity Saga by the Marvel Cinematic Universe

TV: The Mandalorian

Song: Christ Our Hope in Life and Death by Keith and Kristyn Getty

Coming Soon

I was able to have enough of my new recording equipment set up to begin pre-production on the songs I want to record for Bulwark Ministries. Obviously, COVID-19 is going to cause some delay, but I hope to finish it before the end of this year.

With social distancing still a reality, it seems like everyone is going LIVE on Instagram. I plan to give LIVE for SOLA Network as well as FCBC Walnut this weekend, and I had my first LIVE session on Dive In Dig Deep with Courtney Reissig - author of Teach Me to Feel: Worship Through The Psalms In Every Season Of Life. I’ll share the story behind how that happened later - but here is the video on YouTube in case you missed it.
