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.
