I knew what you meant. I was just trying to chide you, to get you to lighten up a bit.
I wanted to get in my joke about a Broadway show really having a soundtrack and to emphasize my feeling that Contact is a show, but not necessarily a musical.
BTW (and changing the subject), the '54 film On the Waterfront has a great score by Leonard Bernstein. He doesn't conduct the orchestra on it, but he does play the piano on at least one cue. There is a complete CD soundtrack recording of its score, and it is just as memorable as his Broadway scores. There are moments in the score that forecast (I hope that's the right word) the music he would compose for West Side Story.
