Bob was overweight for his entire adult life. He had a series of heart incidents in the two years leading to his death. He had moved back to Springfield Illinois where his manager and life long friend Rick White was battling cancer. Bob died of a heart attack while there. Two months later Rick also passed away. I met my wife at one of Bobs famous Scottsdale Halloween parties. He was godfather to our son. I miss Bob terribly and can only wonder: “What might have been?” But we have his recordings. They are still hard for me to listen to. Remember, Bob did about a dozen Hallmark Christmas CD’s with the likes of Natalie Cole, and Johnny Mathis. Other artists of note include Patty Labelle and Mel Torme. Mel had Bob create and conduct live all the music in his last tour. He told me that a career highlight was creating the duet with Nat King Cole and Natalie. The original recording with the Nelson Riddle arrangement was a real piece of 1950’s work, in a different key than Natalies and did not update well. Lots of work by Toby, bobs engineer was required to bring the track up to date. Natalie was having a bad day and the solution was for Bob’s manager, Rick White to stand on a box directly in front of her and literally conduct her performance. More magic in the booth created a masterpiece. Bob stated once that entering the Apple Studio was like a religious experience. He also stated that the talent in Nashville was the best in the world. He did a lot of recording with the London Symphony. His MO was to get on the plane in LA and during the flight write and orchestrate the entire score that was to be recorded during the session. Upon landing at Heathrow he would express the hand written music back to Hollywood on the very next plane. His copyist would spend several hours creating the finished scores, with no changes and then put them on the next flight back to London. Somehow this always worked perfectly and with split second timing. The printed sheets for all instruments were literally still warm when placed on the music stands. Wonderful stories from a wonderful and dear friend. We miss him terribly.
Interesting take. Though odd how Krogstad decides to base the song 'Frozen Heart' on D minor, while its actually C Dorian mode.... Just doesn't sound quite right, but I like how he develops it.
The audio for these is actually taken from an actual orchestra, which is also why you can sometimes hear other noises in other arrangements (like page turning)
I must admit this arrangement is a bit of a mess. Wrong notes written for the mallet parts, soli orchestrated for cello, and the bassoon being the only voice for 'the cold never bothered me anyway', with "For the First Time in Forever" turned into a ballad at the end, punctuated by an ill-fitting, poorly written drum set part. For an incredible arranger, I must say this was a sour representation....
+Jami Hockensmith go ahead rewrite it then.... but thanks for pushing anything you could on the down side..albeit of your opinion. You can call it poorly written, I call it inventive and challenging...creating different twists to a well known movie experience.
1. The mallet part had the write notes? idk what you are referring to. 2. I don't see the problem with a soli cello part 3. Yah, there was probably a better instrument than bassoon to play that lick 4. I agree that the drum set part at the end was underwhelming, but I'm pretty sure the composer wanted the rhythm section to possibly include improvising seeing how there are chords written for the piano part, so I'm pretty sure the drum set parts is just a bare bones rhythm to get an idea for improvising yah ik this comment is 3 years old but whatever :/
Rest in peace Uncle Bob. Your legacy will live on.
RIP dear friend. Beautiful arrangement.
In the words of Anna (when she is playing with Elsa after convincing her to get out of bed and build a snowman): 'This is amazing!!'
the horn parts are so eerie and mysterious, it’s too good

Bob had just started a fabulous career; his dues had been paid. He left us much, much too soon.
@Larry Sorenson how did he die?

@Larry Sorenson damn, that really sucks. I haven’t listened to any other arrangements he’s made besides this one, but I bet they are just as good.
Loved the "Let it go" part, fits the lyrics and their meanings very well

this makes me sad because the piccolo solo was better than me. also i think the violin solo was done better in our concert.
I feel the piccolo solo, it sounds way better than me too

Gino Gamboni,
Very true XD
I’m sure that you will do better. In the interim at least Bob got the chance to create this before his life was cut tragically too short.
