Lyrical sketches for White Peaks, collected form the novel. For guitar patterns. Text comes slowly. I’ve sifted out a couple of sentences and images from the short story ‘White Peak’, the first in ‘Tales of Moonlight and Rain’. Short staccato sentences. A new narrative needs to be written. I wrote a strong first verse, that, unfortunately, I couldn’t match further down in the song.
ABOUT THIS JOURNAL
This digital journal chronicles the creation process of the musical experience ‘On Moonlight and Rain’, from its inception to the premiere on May 18th 2017. Rather than recounting a hero story, with an uninterrupted string of hooray messages, we’d like to show you what it’s really like to put a big music show together. It involves many dead ends, failures, frustrations and a tremendous amount of confidence that all will be well in the end. Enjoy your read.
