Investigate: W’s and Story

(VIDEO COMING SOON)

The data tells us that people don’t remember “facts”, but they do remember “story”. When we share music, what makes it interesting to us is not always what makes it interesting to our audience. So we need to be prepared with a few facts, but then also with the story that might make a person think . . . “yes, I’ll give up some of my time for that”.

If we can say to people - this piece will take 12 minutes of your time, but the story it will tell you is about “this”, we’d love for you to be a part of it - it’s provides a different pathway of adventure for a listener.

Put together 3-5 sentences of story about what you’re saying with your musical piece/excerpt. It could be based on the composers ideas, the history of the piece, or your own interpretation of how melody and countermelody are working with/against each other.
