These are some samples of music I composed for the Rose Bruford production of Oscar and the Lady in Pink, directed by Arnar Davidsson. 

We follow Oscar, a young boy with leukaemia. In hospital he meets Granny Rose, who makes him believe that for every day he is alive, he goes through ten years of living. 
Each scene of the play shows Oscar in a different decade, something I wanted to mirror through the scene-change music.

Oscar 12 - Death: Fulfilling the Cycle
