Fans copy over what skaters and coaches submit on their bios. It is rare to see a full description of a piece submitted with both "written by" and "performed by" info. And the ambiguous word "by" is used for both.
So it isn't just the composer who get short shrift. For example, most skating programs with music composed by members of the Beatles are performed by other artists, but they are not credited, typically.

are you ready to start all over for next year ? hehe![]()
Not quite yet ready. I am planning summer projects first...
We have had a couple of music announcements for the 2016-17 season.
Karen Chen USA
SP: "On Golden Pond" OST
Marin Honda JPN
FS: "Romeo and Juliet" (version unspecified)
I do not know if that is enough to warrant starting a new thread, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling for next year's thread.![]()
Oy to both. I really wish Karen would try skating to something a little... more fun? She does these dramatic pieces that are really a lot older than her years, I'd love to see her do something more upbeat. (I do think she carries these programs off very well for someone her age but really, would it kill her to do something she can smile to?)
And as for Romeo and Juliet, I think no words are needed, though I will light a candle that a Leo voiceover won't be part of it at least.
Yes, I'm so sick of having the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack, especially if it's the rap music parts. Rap music and skating go together like Carly Fiorna and Donald Trump :disapp:1. At least OGP isn't super powerful or dramatic, which is an improvement. It's more "delicate" and lighter than most of her previous SPs.
2. It would be better if it were the ballet or the 2013 version, which are less used than the other two movie versions. (The 2013 is the least used and my favorite, so hopefully it's that.) Also crossing my fingers for no voiceovers. :yes:
