ABBA Mamma Mia! 6-hand piano trio arrangement in concert

This is the first live performance of my brand-new, 6-hand arrangement of ABBA's famous song, "Mamma Mia!" As this is a follow-up to my first video, please see the Info Box at the other page for important details.

This performance took place at the Théâtre Escaouette, during the closing concert of the 2010 University of Moncton summer music camp. (For more details, please visit http://www.campclassique.ca and/or http://www.classicalcamp.ca ) Drummer Étienne Levesque appeared by special request of Nicolas Richard on Piano II. Action shots courtesy of Geneviève Gagné, another piano student of mine during this camp. Camcorder used is a Samsung SC-MX20L; sorry there was no other audio to mix with this in post-production.

Piano I: Juliane Gallant (staff)
Piano II: Nicolas Richard (student)
Piano III: myself (staff)
Drum kit: Étienne Levesque (staff)
This YouTube appearance approved by all performers.

Camera: Geneviève Gagné (student)

Um, I just thought of something. If u cant give me the music piece, can you tell me where you got yours?

@littlemaymay88

It didn't occur to you that, if I were seeking commercial release of this arrangement, that it was actually my own arrangement? I thought I made that clear in both descriptions. These are found just beneath the video windows.

I guess not everybody reads those.

0.0 Me and my piano teacher are just really upset because we can't find it anywhere else and no other piano piece made as much of an impression on us as yours did... So i can't explain how frustrated we are. :(

@littlemaymay88

You think YOU'RE frustrated? How do you think *I* feel?

I am honored that my arrangement made such an impression. Hopefully the people involved with licensing will get off their butts and we can start the ball rolling soon.

[littlemaymay88]

Thanks anyways for actually bothering to tell us why...

@littlemaymay88

That's the spirit! Keep the music alive! The show must go on. :-)

Meanwhile, I promise to all respondents in this thread that I will renew efforts to expedite the process this week.

@totophi We'll just try something else... Thanks...

@littlemaymay88

The way to overcome the first major hurdle is to have some mysterious, wealthy benefactor suddenly ring my doorbell and give me the required money to pay both Alfred and Hal Leonard appropriate licensing fees (as the two companies are the rights holders). But even there are no guarantees, since the actual communication has been very slow.

There are many fine 6-hand pieces out there. And maybe you could try arranging other music on your own...

@totophi Thanks, but is there anyway that i can get a copy now? Because our recital is in December, and we need time to practice. And  your performance is SO amazing that we didn't even CONSIDER anything else! It would be amazing to play it!!!!!! Please let us know as soon as you can!!!! Thank you!!!!
