Haunted Symphony

$0.00

Haunted Symphony tells the story about a tormented musician who hears ghostly voices and becomes obsessed with creating a sorrowful symphony dedicated to his lost love. Early on in the show, a motif is established and from there, the musician spends the rest of the show trying to craft this motif into a full symphony. Part 2 creates space for the guard and winds to focus on some sort of visual presentation and part 3 utilizes a lot of sounds common to a graveyard as the percussion gets to come front and center. The show concludes with the symphony finally being finished. Consider building your field around a piano prop where your main character can sit and work on his symphony throughout the show (whenever the common motifs show up).
