pages to UCSB. The person is Marcus Car<strong>at</strong>elli according to the News section of theBernard Herrmann Society:25 <strong>February</strong> <strong>20</strong>08The Man Who Knew Too Much - Herrmann PapersSource: Marcus Car<strong>at</strong>elliA photocopy of Herrmann's autograph score to The Man (music by M.C.Tedesco). Who Knew Too Much was don<strong>at</strong>ed by researcher Marcus Car<strong>at</strong>elli tothe Bernard Herrmann Papers <strong>at</strong> the UCSB.The original manuscript is archived in the Par<strong>am</strong>ount Music Library.Marcus has the makings of a good researcher. Part of researching is also luck &timing. When I tried years ago to convince Par<strong>am</strong>ount to make a copy for UCSB(because it was missing there), the powers-th<strong>at</strong>-be <strong>at</strong> th<strong>at</strong> particular time was resistant tothe idea. They did not like the former person there <strong>at</strong> UCSB, and did not care to do anyfavors! But with a change of management <strong>at</strong> Par<strong>am</strong>ount (due to retirement) c<strong>am</strong>e achange of <strong>at</strong>titude, and Marcus was there <strong>at</strong> the right time to facilit<strong>at</strong>e a copy being madefor UCSB (and n<strong>at</strong>urally for himself for his efforts). Good job!******************[Tuesday, <strong>February</strong> 09, <strong><strong>20</strong><strong>10</strong></strong> <strong>at</strong> 5:09 pm] Rain today but it started in earnest l<strong>at</strong>e(around 3 pm) and I was already finished with my route by then, opting to keep on goingand take my lunch and break l<strong>at</strong>er.Return of the V<strong>am</strong>pire (music by M.C. Tedesco).Loc<strong>at</strong>ed in Box 13 <strong>at</strong> Sony/Columbia Studios. I worked very briefly onth<strong>at</strong> full score, sketches, and piano-conductor score. The full score was in ink.#3873 “Main Title” Larg<strong>am</strong>ente in 4/4 time. The F.S. is 6 pages but page 7,Bar 25 was missing, I believe. The 3-stave sketch was there, as well as the p-c score. Keysign<strong>at</strong>ure of Ab maj/F min (4 fl<strong>at</strong>s).[Added 2-<strong>14</strong>-<strong>10</strong>:] Initial Instrument<strong>at</strong>ion: Flute, oboe, 2 clarinets, Novachord, 2trumpets (maybe a third l<strong>at</strong>er), 2 trombones (maybe a third l<strong>at</strong>er), timp, harp, piano,strings (I believe only 4 minimum to 6 violins). I only had time to work on the first fourbars. The flute plays ff Line 3 Eb rinforzando half note to Eb half note tied to (Bar 2 in2/4 time) quarter note and tied to 8 th note (followed by an 8 th rest). The oboe plays Line 2Bb notes in this s<strong>am</strong>e p<strong>at</strong>tern. Clarinets play Line 1 E/G [written F#/A] notes in thisp<strong>at</strong>tern. The Novachord (brass effect) plays small octave G/Bb/Line 1 E/Eb/G/B/Line 2Eb [Note: either I wrote the accidentals wrong or the composer wanted the mixed notes interms of accidentals canceling the key sign<strong>at</strong>ure] to another such set of half notes tied tonext bar as given. Once again it appears on the second set th<strong>at</strong> we have both the Line 1Eb and E n<strong>at</strong>ural notes. Trumpets play the aforementioned p<strong>at</strong>tern on Line 1 Bb/Line 2Eb notes. The Pos play small octave C notes in this p<strong>at</strong>tern, and the timp is rolled onsmall octave C notes. The violas are bowed trem forte on small octave G/Line 1 E half13
