As a great admirer of James Newton Howard’s music, it has been thrilling to hear him score for such a terrific canvas with his first film franchise, The Hunger Games.

I recently viewed the Mockingjay Part 2 trailer, “For Prim”, which gives those of us who haven't read the books a less-than-subtle hint about the young character's fate.  This inspired me to take JNH’s “Rue’s Farewell” theme and arrange it with the tragic scene from the upcoming film in mind.

I’m sure my effort will pale into insignificance compared with what JNH has composed for this scene, but it was enjoyable to experiment with harmonic developments to this theme.
