The Legend Sleepy Hollow - Ballet
Greetings YC folk.
Last night, I was inspired to start writing a Ballet. Woot. So I went through my huge fairy tale collection (always a good place to find inspiration) and I came across the Washington Irving story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
So I sat at the piano, and read the first 2 pages...in which I came up with the motif for this piece. I popped on to finale today, and turned the motif into the PDF and Midi and .MUS files that are available for you today.
I just want you to have a look at it, and see what you think. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated, but even still I dont mind if you just want to watch the progress.
Heres an Excerpt which i got this inspiration from:
"...there is a little valley, or rather a lap of land, among high hills, which is one of the quietest places in the whole world. A small brook glides through it, with just murmur enough to lull one to repose, and the occasionl whistle of a quail or tapping of a woodpecker are almost the only sounds that ever break in upon the uniform tranquility.
...a drowsy, dreamy influence seems to hang over the land and to pervade the very atmostphere...
So have a look, and sorry about the midi. I would post an MP3, but it's only a piano reduction. There are notes on the score itself.
WARNING - THE SCORE IS MESSY!!!
