In 2006 I composed 18 songs of different musical
styles (ballads,
latin, pop and rock songs) for
"Charley's
Aunt", the well-known comedy, originally by Brandon Thomas. The musical
was
performed 24 times at the Theater Chemnitz. In 2015 I revised book and
music. The
new revised version is published at CANTUS
Theaterverlag.
The live musical players of the new version are a violin, a flute,
piano and playbacks. The Band of 2006: Drums,
Electric Bass and Double Bass, Acoustic Guitar and Electric
Guitar, Keyboard and Violin.
The new revised version premiered on 9th November 2018 in
Dallgow-Döberitz, Germany. A production of Musik- und Kunstschule
Havelland in cooperation with Marie-Curie-Gymnasium
Dallgow-Döberitz.

27.09.2015: I found out by accident that my music for "Charley's Aunt" was sold to the Theatrum Mundi Schwabach (a theatre in Southern Germany) without my knowledge and permission. I was not involved in the revenue.
3.11.2015: The theatre director Mr. Odörfer confirmed that they performed my music. This is a violation of german copyright law. The Berlin based publisher infringed copyright laws by selling my material to the Theatrum Mundi.
27.12.2017: I received the written confirmation from the theatre Theatrum Mundi that they performed my music on stage during 2014.
25.09.2018: Mr. Call (author of the scipt in 2006) gives Mr. Odörfer the written confirmation, that he is not a composer and that the music to "Charley's Aunt" is completly composed by me.
October 2018: The theater removes the addition "& music" from their website. Now it shows only: "Script by Daniel Call".
