Talk:Dulcamara, or the Little Duck and the Great Quack

message: ...Eh... maybe it's just bme being ill and grumbly, but this piece lacks structure, and my addition ain't helping, either. Arr, weel. Adam Cuerden talk 00:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Structure?  It needs a plot summary.  Go ahead and reorganize it if inspiration comes to you.  I would not have done this article at all, but I noticed that someone had started it, so I beefed it up.  -- Ssilvers 03:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

John Spartan and I have fixed up this little gem of a play - would it be inappropriate to give a mention to our work? There's new music for the majority of it, and some additional songs to fill in the gaps. It's the only performing edition that's available, so if we can include it, I'll type something up. Slfarrell 16:38, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, certainly, mention the new score and give any details of where it can be obtained, whether/when/where it was performed, etc., as long as the description is "encyclopedic" (i.e., not too many adjectives).  Also, feel free to make any other edits to the article that you think are helpful.  As I said above, the article desperately needs a plot summary.  Can you provide one?  -- Ssilvers 16:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The score may be obtained only from me at scottlfarrell@yahoo.com. There are MIDI files at http://www.geocities.com/ulahlica/DUL/Dulcamara.html. The performance is to be given at Rock Valley College in Rockford, IL (the RVC orchestra is playing it). Your edits are just fine. Slfarrell 22:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: This work is getting performed in October. Should I enter the dates and details or is it not within Wiki guidelines, since it's an amateur performance? Slfarrell (talk) 14:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry to undo your work, but I'm going to remove it in two seconds. The revival statement is entirely wrong. I guess Andrew misunderstood my meaning. It's probably my fault, and not his. We are presenting selections from the musical, without dialogue, on Oct 17-18. Suppose I should have said that in the first place.

thread_title: Farrell/Spartan version

message: I can certainly provide a summary. My new score has not been performed in its entirety; just the chorus "If you intend to stay with us" and my Fantasia on Themes from Dulcamara (which is an orchestral piece to be given on Nov 29). That's about it. And you say that it should be encyclopedic? In other words, neutral?  This keeps up and I'll have to have a Wiki page about ME! [smiley] Slfarrell 21:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  Please write the summary without colloquialisms.  I tried to read the synopsis for Jane Annie, but I couldn't really follow it.  Simpler is better, because you are writing for an international audience, even if you have to sacrifice some humour.  Regards, -- Ssilvers 21:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Thanks!  I added your info, and I upgraded the assessement of this article to B-class, since there is not that much more to be said about this work.  -- Ssilvers 23:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

:This link doesn't work for me, and we already link to the WP article, so not sure what else we should do there.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Slfarrell. I added that the song is by R. Hughes.  Not sure how linking to the catalogue would help WP readers. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

text: If we are not sure this is the song that Gilbert used, I don't think we should link it, but feel free to add an explanatory footnote if you want to suggest that it might be. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
