ONE FOR SHAKESPEARE explores the creative process of making Shakespeare's comedy, "As You Like It", into an opera. DVD at the Documentary Channel online store. American neo-classical composer Webster Young wrote beautiful and lyrical melodies for the opera version. This film delves into Young's creative process through television interviews and musical performances -- including his setting of "All the World's a Stage" and "Under the Greenwood Tree". (Includes 7 arias, sung by up-and-coming young singers in New York, and 4 orchestra pieces from the opera.) Distributed by Galloping Films.
