Karen Sokolof Javitch - It's a Glorious Evening At Buckingham Palace



Featured on the album 'Princess Diana The Musical' - released in 1999.

QuoteAt Diana's death, ardent admirer, songwriter and playwright Karen Sokolof Javitch expressed her grief by writing songs about the princess. She wrote the 33 songs about Princess Diana to describe her life with Prince Charles – their courtship, their troubled marriage and their divorce. The songs reflect Diana's transition from being an unknown 19-year old to becoming the most famous woman in the world.



Javitch teamed with award-winning author, Elaine Jabenis to write a script. PRINCESS DIANA, THE MUSICAL, has been produced twice in Omaha, Nebraska, the authors' hometown, raising over $25,000 for two of Diana's favorite charities – AIDS and RED CROSS.



The thirty-four songs on the album run the gamut in emotion and content. Not only do they include duets between Princess Diana and HRH Sir Prince Charles, but the songs also feature Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, the Queen Mum, Fergie and Prince William. There is humor, laughter, excitement, adoration, fun, jealousy, love and much more expressed in the songs!!

(Cards on the table - I'd prepared that for 2013 - but had to bin it at the last minute when I discovered, on closer inspection, that I'd based that date on a different Lady Di musical - as if one of the buggers wasn't enough! (The photos are actually from that second version I think)

Naima Bock - Toll

https://youtu.be/CaaqXRTEZGk



Though she was born in England, Bock spent her earliest years in Brazil before moving to London, where she took up with Goat Girl in her teens. Her music manages to be both balmy and pastoral, maybe because of this background.

From "Giant Palm"

"Producer/arranger Joel Burton steeps Bock's butterly-rich voice in shifting contours that match the nuances in her words while leaving acres of space"

Oddfellow's Casino - Ameland

https://youtu.be/BkkwGDkKCaI




From "Prince Of The Starry Wheel"

"Effortlessly ambitious and calmly thrilling, this track perhaps best exemplifies Oddfellow's unique and pleasingly idiosyncratic vision; they follow their own muse and path, quite outside the vagrancies of fashion or convention, to create something that is genuinely a joy to hear and experience"

Trentemøller - All Too Soon

https://youtu.be/QcJUapt-IdA



Born October 16, 1972 in Vordingborg, Denmark. Electronic DJ & producer currently living in Copenhagen.

From "Memoria "

"On Memoria, there is nothing new under the moon. The territory and sounds are familiar but the magic is in the arrangement: the orchestration of tension and the release of tension, and the tight-rope balancing act between showing and keeping it veiled"
