This is Symphonina No. 3 (Four Days in the Life of the Princess), with 4 movements: 1. Arrival, 2: Longing, 3. The Masquerade Ball (feat. Sophia Agranovich, piano), 4. Freedom. The music is performed by the International Symphonina Orchestra, which comprises 30+ players from around the world who recorded their parts separately. I did the required audio engineering and mixing to have them "perform together" and Gary Gray did the mastering. The music tells the story of a cartoon princess, who, in movement 1, arrives to her castle along side the knights who protect her and the citizens who adore her. But there's a problem: She wants more. In Movement 2, she expresses her longing to have some moments to herself, to be anonymous, rather than famous. In Movement 3, The Masquerade Ball (feat. Sophia Agranovich on piano), the princiess receives a gift that allows her to achieve her dream. In Movement 4, Freedom, she escapes to have fun in the countryside. We are presently working on a storyboard for an animation to go with this score -- the princess has a magical mouse friend, who she confides in. The mouse, in turn, tells the castle wizard of her lament -- the wizard also would like to disappear from time to time, and creates a magic mask that allows himself, the princess, and her mouse, to appear as ordinary villagers. Movement 4 will feature the 3 of them running through other villagers, unrecognized, to go fly kites, with the mouse riding one of the kites... until the princess' father (the king) returns and she has to resume her princess duties. The music is available at the private Soundcloud link provided for now as it is scheduled to release on March 24, 2025, to the usual streaming services.
