ABOUT THE SCORE

“From the very first reading of the play, and after a conversation with Emma, I knew I wanted the soundtrack to express two things. First—the silent pain of the characters. When the characters suppressed their pain, I let the music speak for them.
The second was the motif of death, which appears throughout the play from multiple angles. I composed a musical theme to reflect that presence—repeating throughout the piece in different harmonic contexts: sometimes sarcastic, sometimes grim, sometimes violent, and sometimes full of despair.”
