Dragonlance discussion

I'm subscribed to Margaret Weis' blog on Myspace, and today she posted this:


This from music composer Karl Preusser:

First, I am very pleased to announce that my score soundtrack for 'DRAGONLANCE: DRAGONS OF AUTUMN TWILIGHT' on Lakeshore Records, is on the first ballot for a Grammy Award in three separate categories, including Best Score Soundtrack, Best Song in a Motion Picture ("Qualinesti Hymn"), and Best Engineered Album Non-Classical!

Needless to say, I am very excited and I am also stumping for votes (like we have not had enough of that lately)! If you know anyone in N.A.R.A.S. (National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences), please forward this to them and get them to vote for us! If you, yourself are a member, then your vote would be greatly appreciated! We are up against some of the biggest films from last year and every vote counts!

I would like to give a shout out to Tracy Hickman (the co-author of the original book), who composed the lyrics for "Qualinesti Hymn". Also, to the Mila Vocal Ensemble and Musica Antiqua, who made the magic happen! Equally, a tip of the hat and a big thanks to my scoring mixer Michael Stern, the entire engineering crew, and everyone else involved with the film and score.

Check these out...

Here is a video presentation, which features the 'DRAGONLANCE' scoring process...

Ditto. Get HBO involved.
