Incidental Music from the stage production of

The Crucifer of Blood
a play by Paul Giovanni


Music composed by Steven M. Alper
for the Phoenix Stage Company
production
, Purchase, NY 1994

This production featured Rachel York, Billy Crudup, Noble Shropshire, and Matthew Loney (as Sherlock Holmes),
and was directed by Marcia Milgram-Dodge.

 
The idea was to score this as if it were a 1930's adventure film -- a la Erich Korngold/Franz Waxman/Max Steiner -- which would typically have a lot of underscoring. Musically I was going for an overall romantic, tonal sound, with jagged elements supporting moments of suspense and tension. We wanted a large orchestral sound, as these films would have, so due to obvious budgetary restraints the recording is primarily synthesized, with the additional use of recordings of authentic Indian instruments. This CD contains more than 40 cues!

Music from Faces of God
 
Music from a one woman play in which 14th-Century medieval religious mystic Julian of Norwich relates the story of Heloise and Abelard. Julian of Norwich was a practical mystic, and the first woman to write in the English tongue. In this one-hour play with music, she speaks of hazelnuts and household pots, of searing darkness and of sacred sensuality. We visit Julian in her anchorage where she counsels and prods, celebrates and mourns. She finds lessons in everything -- from the simple beauty of a single leaf, to the heart-stirring story of Heloise and Abelard. Through her compassionate explorations of both the mundane and the extraordinary, we come face to face with the pain and nobility of enfleshment.

The play was first presented at Artpark and then Off-Broadway at New Dramatists for The Womankind Festival. It was most recently shown at The Washington Square United Methodist Church and at Marble Collegiate Church.
