  • Goldsmith's "Ave Satani"

    From BTR1701@3:633/280.2 to All on Mon Apr 15 16:42:46 2024
    Last week I was given an assignment from JoAnne Kane Music Prep to engrave Jerry Goldsmith's "Ave Satani" from THE OMEN for the L.A. Philharmonic to perform as part of some marketing tie-in to the new OMEN movie that was recently released.

    Now the music software I use (Finale) uses its own proprietary unit of measurement to define where everything is placed on the page, the margins, the spaces between notes and staff lines, etc. It’s called an EVPU. When I was done with this piece, I had two out of the twelve pages that totaled an
    average measure length of 6.666 EVPUs. I've never had *any* page come out to that number in any other piece I've ever worked on.

    I feel like maybe I need to contact the local parish and have a priest come over and spiritually cleanse my computer.

    Hope you're joking - your puter is only a tool which can only be
    righteous or otherwise in the hands of its owner.

    Goldsmith reached out from beyond the grave to have his little joke.

    My computer was used for the last several days for tax preparation work
    on a number of tax returns. The Internal Revenue Code was written in
    Hell and the computer is absolutely a cursed object.

    I don't agree with you.

    You are fortunate - the Canadian deadline is 04/30 and I've not even
    started yet...
