Shakespeare Meets Godzilla (The Good Bard and the Ugly)
This inventive and entertaining piece is a mash-up of two entirely different music styles – Renaissance music and classic horror music. Danger is afoot! Shakespeare, armed with only his quill, must stop an enormous creature from destroying his Globe Theatre. As in an epic film score, the music underpins and adds drama to the heroic tale. The effective orchestration and artful interplay between the two music styles gives this piece the colorful sound and intensity of a much more advanced piece.SKU: HLPC24368 -
