I wish I could play piano well enough to play this. and it's not the typical sweet soprano role. From The Name of Love - Moonfall (Reprise) from Mystery Of Edwin Drood: Did you think your stare would stop my seeing Every fibre of my being told me since. Barbara talked me into singing it at NATS, and I am really glad I agreed. After the bridge there is a break from the storm like effect in the chords, and they become calm and wandering again like they were in the beginning. There is a huge crescendo and it sounds almost frightening. I am Lazrus, risen from the grave Quite alive you find me - This tomb behind me Is where I faced my closest shave When I struck my head against the street I was stunned, not stricken - Our plot. Almost every note in every chord is a nonchord tone.
#MOONFALL MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD LYRICS FULL#
At the bridge, they are still arpeggiated, but they are full chords now. they just just aimlessly float around in a hollow way. You can't ever really predict where they are going. but they have a lot of chromaticism in them. Up until the bridge it is mostly just arpeggiated chords. After the bridge, the motive comes back and the rest of the song is almost identical to the beginning.Īnother cool element about this song is the accompaniment. It is a little higher, and at a louder dynamic, and the tempo picks up a little. This happens again, but this time is connected into the bridge, which really isn't that much different from the rest of the song. After the first statement of the motive, it is repeated again, but a third higher. It is a descending line with a lot of chromatic notes in it. The song begins with the motive that is carried throughout the song. It is really a cool piece, and great for a good soprano because this is more of a classical musical theatre piece as far as the technique and training needed to sing the vocal line well. It is really chromatic, kind of tempo-less and wandering, and a little hollow sounding. The scenario that this song is being sung in requires a song that sounds kind of creepy. Unfortunately, Rosa Bud does not return his affections, and is really just kind of creeped out by the whole thing. He writes this song for her to sing in one of her lessons. Jasper, Rosa Bud's creepy music teacher has fallen in love with her.

"Moonfall" from The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
