THE RAVEN MVT. 1 - Midnight Dreary

THE RAVEN MVT. 1 - Midnight DrearyEdgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” is a masterpiece of encapsulating the grief of losing someone close to you and the struggle to overcome that loss. In this interpretation of the classic poem, TIME is the center piece. It is time that it takes to mourn a loss and time that is our enemy as we endure pain. Midnight Dreary opens with a giant chord, like a curtain rising, then only the sound of a clock, slowly ticking as time passes. Solos orginally written for violin and guitar, have been re-written for a solo flute. A grade 3 piece, written with attention to standard ranges. Trumpets stay below high C on the staff. The Raven can be complete with or without the script. A wonderful way to incorporate great literature and music in a cross-curricular experience. A full show would include THE RAVEN MVT. 2 - Lenore and THE RAVEN MVT. 3 - Nevermore. A full recording (with the original violin solo) can also be heard at https://www.jdmusicarrang.com/.
