Soundtrack Q & A
Q: I would love to know where I could get the words and music for the the song "The Tale of the String." I work in a nursery and would love to teach the kids the song. (from Lisa Lavery in Cardiff, wales)
A: The music is by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek, no idea where the sheet music can be found. The lyrics, however, are thus (written by Alan & Marilyn Bergman):

There one was a plain little piece of string,
all alone and with nothing to do.
Each night it would wish more than anything
for a someone to tie itself to.
Then one day a fiddler came wandering by
and this plain little string quickly caught his eye.

The fiddler said:
"Just come along with me.
I can tell you how happy you'll be.
I had a broken string on my fiddle.
I cannot play a thing on my fiddle.
And musically speaking, you're just what I'm seeking.
With you I'll be able to play."

"You've made a mistake," said the little string.
"I have never made music before."

The fiddler said "I'll teach you how to sing,
and you won't be alone anymore."

He played on the string at a fancy dress ball
and the sound thrilled the dancers and filled the hall.
So sometimes a plain little piece of string
makes the prettiest music of all.

Q: I would like to research the possibility of purchasing performance rights and sheet music to "Tu Chiami Una Vita." I have never worked with music copyrights, and so I don't yet know where to go. Also, I would love to know where I can find an English translation of the lyrics, just to know what the piece is saying. Thank you! (from Bethany Ford in Minneapolis, MN, US)
A: I would contact Varese Sarabande for more information on who the copyright owner is, after all, Varese Sarabande had to license the music for the CD release. Once you get the info from Varese and contact the copyright owner, they should be aware of sheet music and possible lyrics. Good luck... Varese Sarabande is at varesesarabande.com (thanks to Soundtrack.NUTadd more info
