Musical Interlude: OK, now for something fun. Carl Stalling did music for countless cartoons, most famous for his work with Warner Brothers, but also Disney and other studios. He did a new score almost weekly for 22 years!
Stalling was a master of the "musical pun," inserting bits of popular or classical music into his scores to accentuate the humor, but his original work was also vital. In just a few bars he could set tone and atmosphere like few composers can.
I've long felt that light composers don't get enough credit, and Stalling definitely doesn't! Listen to his work and realize how much of his music has permeated our culture...
"Untitled Soft Shoe," composed by Carl Stalling, in multiple clips from Warner Brothers cartoons.
