thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Carmen Jones Broadway.jpg

message: Is "translated" really the right word? Hammerstein didn't just change the words to English; he changed them to a different place and time. "Stan' Up An' Fight", for instance, isn't really a "translation" of "The Toreador's Song"; it's a different song about a different sport, and no mention of dark eyes and love waiting. Having said that, I'm not sure what the right word is. Any ideas? Daibhid C (talk) 02:04, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Translated?

message: I was recently commissioned by the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization to engrave a completely new piano-vocal and orchestra score of Carmen Jones.  I have performed Bizet's original Carmen many times in both the version with recitatives and the Opéra-Comique version with dialog.  In fact, the music to Carmen Jones has been substantially cut down from Bizet's original, and sometimes re-written.  All the famous tunes are there, but every single number is shortened, some rather slightly (The Flower Song, Cindy Lou's aria), some drastically (the opening number, the Joe/Cindy Lou duet, the finale to Bizet's act III, the final duet, etc.).  The smuggler's chorus and two of the entr'actes are left out entirely.  Hammerstein added a ballet in act II.  Robert Russell Bennett discreetly adjusted the orchestration to fit a Broadway pit orchestra.--Eqwinter (talk) 14:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you add this to the main article? Readers are encouraged to become Editors by jumping in and expanding articles. As long as the info has citations, chances are it will stay...and you'll have changed history  : ) (fewer readers visit these discussion pages) Codenamemary (talk) 20:42, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry. " . . .as well as laying down some heavy shade on Joe." What does that mean?  And if I don't know, will many other readers know?  Should this be reworded into some more precise description? dr-t 18:44, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
