I am a very big fan of the Muppets and in particular ‘Muppet Treasure Island.’ Hans Zimmer did a great job in writing the score for this film and I am sure it inspired his future masterpieces in ‘Pirates of The Caribbean.’ Watch the video embedded here and note its clever use of the dorian mode and layering of musical textures on top of one-another.
I was asked to write a vocal round for my Orff Course in October this year. I instantly remembered how clever this was and thought my year 7 and 8 boys would like this song. Thanks to Ong Jiin Joo I now have a plug-in that enables me to embed Sibelius 6 scores as scorch files for all to see and download.
