Sometimes the music comes first.
In the late fifties, Benjamin Britten created a sort of opera called “Noye’s Fludde” which he
intended to be performed by amateur groups in churches (with a few ringers thrown in, I
think -- the way the fancy ones sometimes do). The members of the chorus are the animals on
Noah’s ark. My friend Sanjay and I played a pair of otters, and my older brother sang an elk.
This was in 1979 at St. Francis Episcopal Day School, 345 Piney Point Road, Houston, Texas, 77024.
I remember the full details and zip code because there was a poster contest each year for our
school book fair, and that was the key information you had to get across. Anyway, I can more or
less trace all the inspirations for MOONRISE KINGDOM to that address. The events are fictional
-- and most of the names have not been changed.
Also: Alexandre Desplat created a special, unique orchestral suite for our characters. He is, as we
say, the third author.
And: Mark Mothersbaugh and Peter Jarvis provided the rhythms of the Khaki Scouts of
North America.
Plus: the wonderful voice of Leonard Bernstein and majestic performances by the New York
Philharmonic under his direction.
Perhaps one of the recordings on this record will inspire someone among you to make a movie,
as it did for me. If so, I will look forward to seeing it.
