Written for the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, released in 1971, the piece never gained much public attention until recently. It was recorded by a smattering of artists over the course of some 40 years, but not until the release of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2013 and the passing of Gene Wilder in 2016 did the song garner much attention. Most of the music on my album, "Keys to the Cinema," was originally conceived for orchestra. In the case of this arrangement, I started as a jazz pianist would, writing down the basic chord changes, and composed a totally new arrangement around them. Ironically, throughout this compositional process, I heard the piano act more like a string section; a welcome departure from making a string section sound like a piano!" --Charles Szczepanek -------------------------------------------------- ALL SHEET MUSIC: https://bit.ly/CSMusicnotes MORE ALBUMS AND MERCH: https://charles-szczepanek.myshopify.com/ -------------------------------------------------- MY GEAR: New Model of my Keyboard: https://amzn.to/2VcD07y My Piano: https://kawaius.com/product/rx-5/ Favorite Sample Libraries: Abbey Road CFX: https://amzn.to/2WLWKjq VI Labs Ravenscroft 275: https://bit.ly/3zLwCTN VI Labs Modern U: https://www.vilabsaudio.com/modernu Noire by Native Instruments: https://bit.ly/3mYPwmz My Page Turner Pedal: https://amzn.to/3yJ7Su0 Piano Mics: https://bhpho.to/3n72xuF OR: https://bhpho.to/3tfzAh1 Backup Piano Mics: https://amzn.to/3DLtrhy 2nd Backup Piano Mics: https://amzn.to/2WS37kx VLOG Lavalier Microphone: https://amzn.to/3h1NYoa Lavalier Adapter: https://amzn.to/3yNnahs Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/2VczEkY Cabling by Canare: https://amzn.to/3Bx5o3U Favorite Preamp for Piano: https://www.davelectronics.com/bg2mk2.htm Favorite UAD Preamp for Piano: https://bit.ly/2Vf4z09 Favorite Preamp for Vox: https://bit.ly/2Vd4l9F Favorite EQ Plugin: https://bit.ly/3gWvWDR Favorite Compressor for Piano Plugin: https://bit.ly/3BUAz9F Favorite Master Bus Compressor Plugin: https://bit.ly/3DHBZWJ Favorite Reverb Plugin: https://bhpho.to/3DLvRwE Favorite Limiter Plugin: https://bit.ly/3n2755q Notation Software: https://amzn.to/3BEhqbJ Recording Software: https://amzn.to/3zMFJDL Video Editing Software: https://bit.ly/3DNENBq Acoustic Panels: https://realtraps.com/p_minitrap.htm AND: https://www.atsacoustics.com/bass-traps.html AND: https://amzn.to/2Vd5YnN My Camera: https://amzn.to/3h145Ce 16mm Lens: https://amzn.to/3DIJP29 25mm Lens: https://amzn.to/3h3UWsL 35mm Lens: https://amzn.to/3yL26bg 85mm Lens: https://amzn.to/3jKwMp8 Tripod and Head: https://amzn.to/3kLzWIo Camera Cage: https://amzn.to/3kRY2Bf Feelworld HDMI Camera Monitor: https://amzn.to/3yLEH9P Hrad Drive Storage: https://amzn.to/3yIzZJY Main Light: https://amzn.to/3tfkLeh 2nd Light: https://amzn.to/3DNBHh1 3rd Light: https://amzn.to/38HkjvQ Accent Lights: https://amzn.to/3n2ZJOP Softbox: https://amzn.to/3n35dt4 Fresnel: https://amzn.to/38CC6ob Barndoors: https://amzn.to/3zIPMKc ------------------------------------------------- WEBSITE: http://www.charlesszczepanek.com FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/charlesszczepanek TWITTER: (@CSzMusic): http://twitter.com/CSzMusic INSTAGRAM: (charlesszczepanek): https://bit.ly/2Lv6yDJ ------------------------------------------------- *This description contains affiliate links.
