Composer Notes

I am not altogether sure of the source of inspiration for this final prelude, but it is very much in the style of film noir movies of the 50s. There is a smoky quality to the music, a feeling of unrequited love and of danger lurking just under the surface. This dichotomy is represented in the music by moments of poignant melody contrasted with sinuous, chromatic chords. If you’ve ever seen “Sunset Boulevard,” “Laura,” “Double Indemnity,” or “Gilda,” you will understand what I was trying to capture in this work.
