The Other Bennet Sister - Viola and Variations
The Other Bennet Sister has taken the Austen world by storm this year through a charming story focusing on Mary Bennet. This episode is focusing on the music by composer Anne Chmelewsky, particularly the main theme that tells Mary's story throughout as she grows from feeling like the odd sister out to a young woman who finds love as well as purpose in teaching and writing. This main theme is heard in a variety of ways containing two different parts and also including motifs and a rhythmic theme that shares different aspects of Mary's journey. Add to that the viola which is an under appreciated string instrument for the under appreciated sister and you have a delightful score to enjoy.

Little Women 1994 - Newman and Nostalgia
In this episode, we look at Thomas Newman's score of "Little Women" from 1994. Nostalgia is the sound of this score, using modes and combining minor in happy moments while using high instrumentation and fun rhythmic energy to give joy in minor. We take apart how the main theme is used for Jo and her writing as well as looking at many beloved melodies and how they are used in this adaptation to convey the story of young women growing up together both in the joys and sorrows.

How To Train Your Dragon - Romance in the Air
In this final episode for How to Train Your Dragon, Ruth focuses on the romantic themes throughout the trilogy written by composer John Powell. From Astrid and Hiccup to Hiccup's parents to Toothless and the Lightfury, each movie has a unique take on romance that often coincides with flying. We look at how the journey progresses from crushes to epic to quiet and vulnerable. We also look at the similarities of romantic music and flying and the unique opportunities of having both of them occur at the same time.
