MUSIC SAMPLES

Mvt. 1: Enchantment transports us into the tortured mind of a tormented ballerina, who is as much a prisoner to the evil sorcerer’s curse as the ballet’s princess swan Odette. Relentless pursuit of perfection becomes the ballerina’s obsession. Winds Only (For percussion, please refer to the video)

Mvt. 2: Mania opens like a beautiful daydream of the ballerina’s perfect performance. She glides, twirls, and leaps across her imaginary stage until her inner saboteur invades to destroy her hopes and vision. Winds Only (For percussion, please refer to the video)

Mvt. 3: Battle for Sanity is the battle within the ballerina’s own mind. Graceful white swans are overpowered by menacing black swans; her delicate, pointed pirouettes spiral out of control. The harder she works to embody her dream of artistic perfection, the faster she succumbs to exhaustion and madness.

Mvt. 4: Swan Song is the breathless performance that finally consumes the ballerina entirely. The most perfect performance of her life becomes her swan song. Winds Only (For percussion, please refer to the video)
