This was so well done! I love your choice of starting and ending with piano in the fashion of the original songs, but your orchestral piece was a great expansion on it. Beautiful work!

Description
This work is a combination of two of the main themes from the Malevolent podcast: "Faroe's Song" and "Faroe's Lullaby". The songs are used throughout the episodes both in diegetic and non-diegetic instances. They are played on the piano, which is appropriate since the main protagonist is a piano player. I simply took the two short pieces and worked them in an orchestral suite for the purposes of exploring the emotional depth of the story and simply to try something new.
Many of the instrument choices were based on sounds and instruments that actually occur in the podcast. For example, the main protagonist, Arthur, encounters a music box that plays his daughter's lullaby, hence the bell sounds in the middle. The structure of the piece begins in a slow and melancholy state, reflecting the Arthur's grief over the loss of his daughter. The middle begins to grow in suspense and he and his new otherworldly companion face the treacherous path before them. Despite all of their misfortunes, mistakes, and the dark forces that work against them, they always find a way to overcome. Throughout this all, Faroe is never forgotten.
