The music of "Frasier" - the recording's wearing out <g>
Sally Hawksworth
Gas", courtesy of Joe Chip, a correction to this week's C4 episode title -
It Takes Two to Tangle - and an addition that *I've* made after watching
it - though 50 Americans and Canadians could have done so a month ago! It's
not as if it wasn't one of the most well known classical pops around - *and*
mentioned specifically by Martin, *and* the subject of a prominent joke
relating to the plot of the episode. C'mon, folks, stop slacking.
[This is a continuing attempt to enlist the help of all of you in compiling
a definitive list of all the music that has been heard on 'Frasier' - the
items, their composers, their performers, and links to clips of the actual
music if they are available. It can then be hosted on someone's
homepage/website (who with assistance from the rest of us should have no
problem updating it as new eps appear) and linked to from the FAQ/FUQ. If
such a list already exists, (even an incomplete one) please let us know and
provide its address. Otherwise please fill in any detail you can on the list
of eps below - and if you'd like to host the list tell us that too.]
Okay, I've assembled the info we've accumulated so far onto this list, for
convenience. (Thanks to Adrienne, Andrea, b.g., Brad, Bridget, Charles,
Dorcie, E. Minigan, Joe Chip, Linda, Matthias, Phoebe, Theresa, Tony
Minkoff, Val and especially Anne T. from CN, who sent me all the stuff
on the new 'Frasier' CD. If I've omitted any acknowledgements please
accept my apologies and remind me.) Now it's time for a few more of you
to share your knowledge. There are a lot of unanswered questions and
doubtless many musical snatches which no-one has mentioned at all. To
make progress we need people who watch repeats or tapes to jot down
when music is played or sung, even if they can't identify it fully, and let
us
know if it's not on the list.

KG and DHP sang a verse of a beautiful musical number beginning

similar to the "Robin Hood" song DHP sang some years ago on Rosie
O'Donnell's show) I am not sure what the exact source is (something tells me
I found it on a.t.f ) but I remember a while ago someone of some credibility
(maybe one of the producers?) stated that DHP had written the words to that
little "ditty" himself.

There was an aria that Frasier was practising with Niles on the piano before

"Frasier Crane - radio jingle", written by David Lloyd and Bruce Miller
Niles demonstrated the relationship between an early composition of
Frasier's and Beethoven's 9th symphony-- a relationship
that might be described as "identical."
There was also another earlier version of Frasier's song that was played by
Niles on the piano that was really quite bouncy.
"Claustrophobia, nymphomania, he will probe ya', he'll explain ya'!"
[finishes] It's brilliant!
Frasier: It does have a Cole Porter-y, Steven Sondheim-y flavour,
doesn't it?
Niles: Oh, absolutely yes. Sondheim would have killed to have
written this.

At Niles and Mel 's wedding reception, Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nacht

I still would like someone (maybe a kind hearted producer?!?! :)) ) to
reveal what the name of the piece was that was played on the roof top when
Niles and Daphne finally had their "official first date" in the ending scene
of this episode. It sounded like a piano with a violin accompanying it. Who
was the recording artist as well? It was just perfect to go along with that
scene. :))

The drinking song that N/F argue about initially is "Libiamo ne' lieti

He plays and sings "I'm through with love" written by Gus Kahn, Matty

Breaking the ice. I couldn't work that ine out either. Neither Traviata or
Rigoletto have a "drinking song" - per se.
However both operas start with a party. However Rigoletto's deals with dukes
attraction to the hunchback's daughter and Traviata deals with well, living
life to the full - so i suppose that makes more sense. Wine women and song
and all that.
But I also can't work out what they were singing. Their rendition left a
little to be desired.

Correction, Kate. The "Brindisi" in "Traviata" is a drinking song-- the
very first word is "Libiamo"-- "Let's drink."
I'm afraid you will have a difficult time catching us out in the music
department here. We have some very knowledgeable people.
PS for future reference, we usually post replies *below* the original
message-- it was an adjustment for me, too.
Welcome.

Later in this ep, when Frasier was working at his piano again (after
the orchestra fiasco), I swear as his father came out Frasier ended
his piano playing with "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"--the melody of the
last line, "Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."
