The Four Singers tell the story of French poverty, at times innocently questioning the character of Marat, at other times terrorizing him. |
In the asylum of Charenton, the inmates portray the horrors, the disappointments, and the hipocrosy of the French Revolution. |
(Excerpt) 1:17 I created this piece, recorded during a performance, by rearranging the music originally composed by Richard Peaslee. |
2:14 I composed this piece as an original work after developing the scene in my imagination, with an ear to Nelson's style, and to the content and intention of Wiess' scene. |
1:13
In this song, the Four Singers meditate on the inequities of
18th Century French society. I made it an angry punk driven
song to capture the growing frustration of the inmates
for Nelson's modern interpretation of Weiss's Marat/Sade.

3:39 This was the sketch I produced for my composition to both communicate the music to the director and design team, and to assist the Four Singers and the Ensemble in learning the material. |
1:52 This is another sketch I created; I sent copies of this music and lead sheets to the band who performed live in the play as a means to communicate my artistic intention. |
