Abstract:
I’m thinking of telling a story by a music work. As a music producer, I’d
like to describe a story by composing a music piece. In this work, there won’t
be much voice or words, but the melody of instruments and sound from the nature.
I will manage to let audiences feel and understand what I want to express in
the music when they are listening.
The music consists of six parts, which is relative to the development rules
of the story, the Freytag Triangle. The story will have its basic element, the setting,
the inciting incident, the rising action, the climax, the falling action and
the Denouement. I am planning to display the story process by diverse music genres,
depicting the emotional changes in different parts.
Brief Introduction of my
story
This is a story about a boy. The leading role of the story is a boy
called Felix. The story begins with the birth of Felix. He was born in a quiet valley
that is filled with wide meadow and tall trees. He loves and embraces
everything of his beloved hometown. He had a best friend named Sandy during his
childhood. They climbed the grain pile and forded brooks, sharing the happiness
and growing up together.
Felix lived a happy life with his family for 16 years till the war
starts. The first bang of the valley triggered the signal of fighting back.
Felix held the gun and protected the valley with other villagers. The sudden
attack ruined the houses and pastures of the valley. Villagers burst into cry
and scream. The 16-year-old Felix had to fight against the enemies with Sandy.
Being too young, they gradually couldn’t afford more and retreated step by step.
Sandy was shot by a bullet from an unknown direction. Felix pulled him back and
screamed out. Falling into the desperate struggle, nobody came up to help but
fought and shouted. Felix’s tears and scream was covered in the loud noise of
the war in an instant. The helpless Felix stood up and fought back again.
Sandy died in this war at last. Felix joined the funeral. Losing the
most important friend in the war made Felix so determined to be a soldier to
protect his valley where he was born and grew up. He wanted to dedicate his
life and glory to the victory and glory of his nation. The war won’t be stopped
in a short time, which Felix knew very deeply. Finally he joined the army and
left his hometown. Now it’s time for justice.
