POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s been a week since this amazing and rewarding experience of recreating The Legend of Sleepy Hollow through music at @oldnorth1723 and Crescendo Productions.

This was such a fun project for me and might be one of my favorite things I’ve written. I tried to emulate pieces like “Peter and the Wolf,” and “The Planets” for their use of leitmotifs, while sticking to an Americana folky vibe, and of course trying to channel some Danny Elfman too.

@tstevig and @flipjackson crushed it beyond my expectations while still bringing their own musical personalities into the compositions. John Kinsman, our narrator, entertained the audience brilliantly and nailed all of our musical cues.

Included here are bits from some of the pieces, corresponding with elements of the text: “Katrina’s Theme,” “Ichabod’s Waltz” (reprise) “Brom’s Theme,” “Party Jig” (or “reel,” as Tev has corrected me), the Horseman’s theme, and the two interludes: “October” and “Welcome to Sleepy Hollow.” Also some shots of the Headless Horseman himself, the staging area, and my parents!

Both shows were sold out and the audiences were fantastic and engaged the whole time. We can’t wait until next year to do it again!

Also, we’ll be doing another one of these on Dec 12, for a special night of Christmas themed ghost stories - stay tuned for details!

Kick off spooky season with a little candlelit fright: the Headless Horseman rides into @oldnorth1723 this Friday, Oct. 9, for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: A Musical Reading," complete with a live original score and an optional crypt tour for those brave enough to descend beneath the floorboards.

Nikki Stewart of @oldnorth1723 and Michael Maler of Crescendo Productions gave @thecultureshowgbh a sneak peek at the haunting evening, so listen in and grab your tickets before they vanish. Check it out at the link in our bio.
