The Raven
I have been gone off of the website for a while, but I have returned with GREAT news. I have written two new musicals, with complete scores: "The Raven" and "Mystery, Murder, Music".
The Raven
The Raven is a musical based on the poem by Edgar Allan Poe. It is the tragic story of Joseph More, who is not named in the poem, who has just began coping with the death of his wife Lenore. After the funeral, Joseph is visited by The Raven, who haunts him for several days. After a few days, Joseph is visited by the spirit of his wife Lenore and she gives him a key that can take him to Lenore in Heaven-When the time is RIGHT! She leaves him, all alone.
In Act Two, Joseph goes to church, where the Raven has followed him. His concerned friend, Mr. Madison, asks about him, and has constantly bothered Joseph before about life without Lenore. Joseph, enraged, snaps at Mr. Madison, and starts a fight that ends their friendship. Later that night, Joseph is sad that he has done this, and is visited by The Raven and the voices...Lenore...Joseph More...Never More...They become louder, and faster, and with a final beat, Joseph collapses, dead. Mr. Madison arrives moments later, and apologizes at the door, and enters the chamber, to find Joseph dead. Lenore in heaven, has found out Joseph is dead, and patiently waits for him. Soon, Joseph arrives and they are at last together, sharing one of the only happy moments in the show.
CURTAIN.
