The Trial: Act 2, Scene 5 (The death of K)
Composed as a part of the 2019 Vita Tzykun Charrette at UMKC. This is new music that I wrote to Christopher Hampton's libretto for 'The Trial,' based off of the book by Franz Kofka. It's an attempt to show the tension leading up to K's death in the final scene. The piano sounds represent the singers' vocal parts. (written in protools with midi and arranged using EastWest orchestral sounds.) |
