The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui SoundtrackThis is the soundtrack to the musical I wrote for my senior project. All the lyrics are taken from the dialog of the play, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. I had about a month to compose the music, and I would have done a lot differently if given more time. But I'm pretty happy with how a lot of it ended up. A lot of the songs had more complex orchestrations that the band and/or the singers never had time to rehearse with. For these songs, I just played piano. The soundtrack was recorded in a single, 6 hour-long session. All the performers involved are high-schoolers, with varying levels of experience. The jazzier songs are a little on the weak side, and I'm aware of that. The reason for this is that when we recorded them, the drummer was unavailable, and was added in later. This weakened both the time and general feel of these songs. Someday, we might be able to rerecord them. Some of the best songs, in my opinion, are Whitewash, Never Betray Your Friends, Prologue, and A Misunderstood Man. This text will be replaced
