The Sound of Music
I think I posted this on my first blog. Back in high school, I wrote a soundtrack to Ibsen's "A Doll's House" as an english project. It's in 5 sections and was written to reflect the major plot points. Enjoy!

I find this quite fascinating. Let me guess: IB English A1, World Lit, project #2.
You know, I was somewhat excited when that last one started in 6/8, expecting it to go into a more Tarentella-ish flow, but I was deceived (possibly by the V to vi progression...).
The first two and the fifth clearly bear the influences of Bach and Mozart. That initial progression at the beginning of the third piece was very interesting. The fourth was definitely most surprising though - it sounded more like Japanese video game music than anything else. Curious how you put it all together. I'd be curious to hear about your compositional process, if you can still remember.
Did you just do a MIDI of this (if so, on what back then?), or did you and a flute-playing buddy do live renditions of this?

Guillaume, it was for English 20 or 30, can't remember which. I didn't take IB. As for composition, the first two were based on counterpoint to show conversation between the couple. The third was more morose, the fourth was a bit of an angry climax inspired somewhat by the third movement of Moonlight Sonata, and then the happy denoument. I wrote it out at a piano, then had to manually put it all into a MIDI program (since I didn't have time to learn to play the pieces).
