Music Samples
Below you'll find music samples from our current projects. Just click on the jukebox link and you'll hear a 30-45 second clip.
Falling to Earth
This is our re-telling of the Pygmalion & Galatea myth. The clip below, "Pygmalion Works It Out," finds our artist at the height of frustration, with everyone telling him what his work should look like.
Ana, a serving girl from the Temple of Venus, dispatches advice to the frustrated artist - advice direct from the goddess herself...but does she really intend it to be taken this way? (Sung by Mamie Parris)
Pygmalion's best friend, Paphos, challenges Ana and gets more than he bargained for in the process. In their duet, he spins the tale of his lively dream. (Sung by Tom Gualtieri & Mamie Parris.)
In "Better Than Venus," the goddess sets the record straight about her divinity when Pygmalion claims his statue is superior. Venus is sung by Mamie Parris. (Deliciously, we might add.)
Paphos, in order to calm the goddess' rage at Pygmalion, offers himself to her, suggesting all the punishments she could inflict. Paphos is sung by Tom Gualtieri.
The clip below, "Things in Cyprus," opens Act Two. Galatea, sung by Kristin Maloney, sings about life with Pygmalion.
The Heiress
The two music samples below are from our work on a musical version of The Heiress. The first song, "Aunt Penniman's Rule," is sung by the very talented Jeanne Lehman (currently Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast) as Aunt Penniman. In this song, Aunt P. explains to her niece Catherine Sloper, the simple rule for "working the room" in 19th Century society. Catherine is sung by Lauren Shealey.
Catherine falls in love with Morris Townsend, despite her father's suspicions that Morris may not be all that he seems. Morris elicits a promise from Catherine: that she will be true to him no matter what comes.
Songs from The Heiress were created with the kind permission of Judy Goetz Sanger, based on the play by Ruth & Augustus Goetz.
