Acoustic Versions

"Our wonderful composer, Carly Howard, has spent the last couple months orchestrating different parts for all of the songs for Hansel and Gretel. They are now mostly filled in with cello, glockenspiel, tambourine, drums. I love the way they sound, and with the help of our music director, David Harris (who also notated all of the music ) they will be filled in even more to produce a final sound that is rich and dynamic.

I just recently went back and listened to the very first recordings that Carly did for Haunted and Hunted and Witches Have Red Eyes. These acoustic demos are somehow refreshing in their simplicity. They are spirited and emotive and re-ignite my passion for this project all over again. On the website, you can now listen to the first ever recorded version of Witches Have Red Eyes, and then also listen to the orchestrated version."
