The songs presented here on SonicBids are the final mix instrumental selections which comprise the album "Gnomespheres".

These selections are drawn from the twenty-nine compositions which make up the music from Act One of;

"The Gnomes of New Hope: Zach & Zebby's Grand Adventure"

More discussions about the show and the advancements in production activities can be found on the blog affectionately called The IMS Virtual Studio. The title to this posting links you to that page.

Composition of the music for ACT TWO is nearing completion and the selections will be presented here when that if finished.

We are beginning to look at recording the lyrics and invite musical theatre vocalists to inquire if they like.

We are looking for business partners to engage in producing the numerous aspects of this project and invite inquiries. A good amount of the pertinent information is posted on the blog, but there are many other activities which are not addressed there as well.

Little did they know, that when they performed together as two congressmen from Delaware in "1776" with Bryn Athyn Community Theatre (BACT) that they would be working together off-stage as well.

Greisiger is the Artistic Dirtector of Image of the Mind Studios (imagemindag@verizon.net), formed in 1977 and based in New Hope since 1990. He has more than 350 productions in theatre and film to his credit, working in many capacities.

Rose has performed in numerous productions with BACT including Bernado in "West Side Story" (what he calls his first and favorite role) He is a much sought after accompanist, working regularly on high school and college musicals, choral classes in the Academy of the New Church, swing, rock, and formal concerts and Contemporary Worship Services of The Bryn Athyn Church.

Rose's most recent work in musicals has been "Into the Woods" , "Wizard of Oz" and "Crazy For You" . He is more interested in improvisational original music lately, partly because he runs the open mic at the Alden Road Cafe in Bryn Athyn, but also because of the work he and Greisiger are doing on "The Gnomes".

Greisiger began making notes on "The Gnomes of New Hope" around 1989, shortly after returning from Hollywood, where he and his wife lived for four years.

Initially, the script was written to be performed as a marionette show. This came as a result of Greisiger's work with Middle Earth Marionettes and his desire to create a street fair presentation for The New Hope Arts Festival. The Lambertville Public Library suggested conducting a marionette workshop for children.

Shortly after his return to Pennsylvania, Greisiger began working for The New Hope Performing Arts Festival as the Technical Director. He worked with Paul Licitra, Director of the New Hope Arts Commission as far back as 1980 when he served in the same capacity for Adi Kent Jefferies' production of "Ghosts in the Valley" which she and Paul produced at the Towpath House Restaurant.

Greisiger worked for two seasons with the Arts Commission at the Solebury School Theatre before they moved the festival to the Stephen Buck Theatre.

Greisiger was working with Bob Gerenser on the recovery of his paddle-wheel tour boat, which was stuck down-river when he started thinking about putting "The Gnomes of New Hope" up in The Gerenser Theatre, now The New Hope Arts Center.

Greisiger asked Rose if he would be interested in working on the music for "Gnomes" and he said yes. What started out as a drama with music has increased to become a full musical.

As work progressed on the show, Greisiger recruited Jency Latta to create illustrations that would become the image of the Gnomes.

Greisiger invites theatre people living in the area to consider participating in helping the original musical to come to life. He wants to point out that another aspect of "The Gnomes of New Hope" is the concept of a theme park centered around "Gnomeville", a stop along the New Hope - Ivyland Railroad.
