Perhaps this has already been answered, but I wasn't sure what kind of tune to give the song in Act II, Scene II, with Mrs. Inquest, Hedda, Aunt Judy and Madame Helseth.

Do you already have a tune picked out?

A very good point. I had entirely forgotten about this one (We're the Ib-sen Gib-son rickety rackety gells).

Bear with me, I will try and get something uploaded tomorrow, Tuesday.

No worries. I recorded a truly awful bit of warbling in character and then thought better of submitting it

I'll wait to upload until the music is up and I can try to match it.

Hi Ruthie,
Have you everything you need from me, or have I forgotten something? I have a niggle, but not sure what it is for...

You still have the joy of that awful song.

Details in this post.

At least you only have to do the chorus... I have to do all the verses.

When there is no-one in the house, I'd better do that. <groan>

Sorry, cast. I still haven't been able to find a tune those silly rickety-rackety words will fit. Still looking.

Tune for We're the Ibsen, Gibson, Rickety-rackety Gells

I gave up looking and made one up. It does, I have to confess, sound more like a sea shanty than anything else, but let's say that it just adds to the play's idiosyncracies.*

Here are the MP3 and PDF files in a zip:

*Now realises that idiosyncracy is spelled with an "s" in the US

EDIT: I have now added song details to the first post of the thread for easy reference.

The part of the Fairy has become available. It's a lovely part.

The part of Hedda is also now available - described as "a distinguished, fashionable person." I would describe her as a complete nutter, myself.

Needs someone who can do a manic laugh, preferably.

Also sings (with others) the song "We're the Ibsen, Gibson, Rickety-rackety gells" and the chorus of "Oh poor old Mr Hasquith." See top post for details.

I'd like to claim the part of the Fairy please.

Thank you, Lucy. Welcome to the madhouse.

Do I do the fairy chorus as well?

I think I've found all the lines. I'm in Act 1 Scene 1 at the start, Act 1 Scene 2 at the very end, Act 2 Scene 2 in the middle and at the end and in the middle of Act 3.

I think I shall affect a rather posh accent for this, it seems to fit and should be amusing.

Sounds good.

Yes, they are all the lines I could find, too. And the more the merrier for the Fairy Chorus, please.

I'd like to attempt Hedda. I may be a flop, but it'd be a fun flop.

You will be splendid, Tricia.

Thanks!

That was fun!

Act 1 (1:14):

Act 2 (0:38):

Act 3 (1:27):

And the Fairy Chorus (0:23):

Any constructive criticism welcomed. And let me know if my accent is at all inconsistent, or the volume changes too much, this part is short and enjoyable enough that I don't mind re-recording.

Edit: Bah, I missed the part about no capitals. Let me know if you want me to change the filenames and reupload.
