quote from the composer about his
approach:
I wrote two
themes with dramatic intros and outros and then I created a
library of pieces from these for the director to use in the
theatre. I also had to record music for one of the actors to
sing too, 'Vincent' by Don maclean and Dance of the Dolls for
a fairground scene. I wrote for strings, concert flute,
alto flute, bassoon and bass clarinet, piano, harp and the
amazing Thundertube which provided me with all the thunder I
needed for that little coastal town setting. Acoustic guitar,
bass and piano with brush kit for the
songs.
