[QUOTE="Kareyev, post: 405922, member: 4823"] It's a forced in areas, but this was such an interesting challenge I had to give it a try. Hopefully something in this is useful. If you have ever seen the 1984 movie Amadeus there is a great scene toward the end of him write a song as he dies upon his bed where they break the music into parts. For some reason that's the music I was thinking of as writing this. ***** As the Bard drifts into sleep she see an cloudy image begin to form to her left. The shape takes the form of a sheet music floating before a blue sky. As she reads the music written in the trebble clef she hears the music of harmony and nature fill her soul. The sounds of birds chirping upon the wind as the high pitched music give her a sense of balance and growth. She then hear a deep rumble to her right. As she turns another melody is written on a black background with the distributing grins of skulls marking the notes. This song is a dark, deep melody written in the bass clef. At first the deep, dark music is disturbing roar of a fate which cannot be escaped, but as she listens the complex melody reveals the emotion of meeting a friend that has been waiting to give her comfort and rest. The two melodies battle each other for her attention; each seeming to offer something unique to the her. Individually they are songs of great beauty, yet something is missing. Then, from deep within her, the Bard hears a third melody. Bursting from her minds eye she looks upon a new song written in the alto clef upon scenes of the places she has visited, the people she has met. She see farmers cutting their wheat, babies being born, marriage ceremonies being preformed. This new melody weaves between the other two, bringing them together and creating an symphony of epic proportions. As the song reaches it's crescendo's to a climax she see the land around her as if she has been granted the ability to fly. As she climbs higher the world below her grows smaller until she sees it as a small delicate pearl drifting in a void. Something to be revered. Cherished. As the song ends the scene fade to black and she slowly awakes to a new morning. [/QUOTE]
