MUSIC SAMPLES

Mvt. 1: Jealousy introduces the sorceress, obsessed with her appearance and being the most beautiful woman in the land. While the power of her jealousy swirls around her like a terrible storm, she asks her magic mirror who the fairest of them all really is—it shows not her own reflection, but a lovely young maiden. This enrages the sorceress, and she begins to plot the maiden’s demise.

Mvt. 2: Revenge is a churning ballad of dread, jealousy, and revenge. As the sorceress prepares her poisoned apple for the maiden, a melancholy flute solo laments the maiden’s imminent doom.

Mvt. 3: Curse is the dramatic end to this tale—the maiden has fallen under the eternal sleeping curse from eating the poisoned apple, and the sorceress is now the fairest in a land of darkness and evil.
