HELLO AGAIN ORG-HEADS:

Let me just say that these are the quickest responses I've ever gotten to any inquiry on any site. Mrs. Fischer is the bomb!

I followed up with Mrs. Fischer about "All the King's Horses" and the sample of Clare's music on N>E>W>S:

Dear Mr. Manuel,

"All the King's Horses" was the title of the last arrangement Clare wrote
for Prince in September of last year. The title could have been changed by
the time a CD was released, if in fact it has been released. We're not
notified of a release, nor do we even receive a copy of the the finished
product, so we're pretty much in the dark. Wish we could be more helpful.

If we could hear the new CD, Clare could, I'm sure, identify his part on it,
but we don't have the CD.

Write any time.

Our best to you all,
Clare and Donna

lol Prince doesn't even send Clare Fisher a copy of the CD when it's released falloff

In other news, it's cool to read that they worked together as recently as last September!

Ask Claire if Prince wrote synth lines to cover the melodies used by Clair? Since Prince supposedly wrote the whole song, he had to of written the melody focus for the orchestra.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

By the way i wonder why Clare Fisher did not mention
Crystal Ball? I always thought this was one of his
best if not the best arrangement he ever wrote for Prince.
Just wondering.

Perhaps if you write to Prince at Paisley Park Studios in Minneapolis, you can get more of the information you're looking for. Address to write to:

Paisley Park Studios
7801 Audobon Road
Chanhassen, MN 55317



I asked them about this and got this reply:

"High. We have no information about that at this time."

...

Question is, does he still collaborate with Prince?

TRC strings are credited to: "The Vault"

?

What happened?


"The Vault" = samples of Clare's arrangements from other songs which Prince fitted to songs on TRC (i.e. the title track)...

Somethimes It Snows in April

Are there strings on this? I'll have to listen to it when I get home - I thought I knew this song inside-out, but I guess not if I can't even remember if there are strings...




On the album - no

In the movie - yes...and woodwinds...and percussion...

Wouldn't Clare's contribution be largely to write the melody of the orchestral parts? That's the impression I had.
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

UR a GENIUS!! Lol! I thought, too, that those were samples of Clare Fischer's work on "The One". I'm pretty positive that's it.

Clare did NOT collaborate on NEWS - it clearly says (on some cds anyway!) that Clare's string arrangements were "sampled" - that is, they were pre-recorded, probably sent to Prince some time ago for something else and now Prince has decided that they will fit on North. There is nothing wrong with that and Clare is proabably aware of it.

Prince already sampled Clare Fischer strings on the Batman album. So i guess Clare doesn't object to this practice.
