(Muse Quartet):
"Listen to the sound, Carlo, listen to the sound.
In your heart and in your soul it must reside.
Listen to the melody,
Echoing hauntingly.
The sound that is the music locked inside."

A New Musical by Blaise Ferrandino & Steven Breese
Thrill of the Hunt
Music Locked Inside
Synopsis of Story
Don Carlo Gesualdo became a great and important composer...of this much we are certain. His music lives on, as mysterious and memorizing as was his troubled life. How could a man of such brilliance be given to such unbridled acts of violence? The murder of his beautiful wife and her secret lover...? And what of his children...?
You are listening to original music - written from the creative genius of composer Blaise Ferrandino - fashioned in the style of Gesualdo's now famous work. The glorious sound of this choir is just one example of the hauntingly seductive melodies that Ferrandino brings to this fascinating new work.
The "muse quartet" you hear is the "music locked inside" Don Carlo's troubled mind. Revealing his mysterious key of creativity is just one of the compelling stories told in this epic piece of musical theater.
