Music Choices

As it had to be a lyric-less piece of music I immediately started looking at a pianist called Yiruma as I had listened to his stuff before.
He creates music that -to me- makes you feel something and I thought I could work off of that.
I listened to a couple of his songs,

I then thought that it is a very hard piece of music to light to and potentially put a set to. Therefore I decided not to use this type of music.

Then I thought of things I liked that do not necessarily need lyrics to work and immediately started to look at Le Miserables.

I started to listen to the instrumentals of some of my favourite songs from the play/movie and soon came to notice that the powerful bits are not made by the music but by the lyrics/singing and again realised it would be very hard to light/put a set to this type of music.

It then started to become quite hard to come up with something that I would like and be able to work with.
I then watched one of my favourite films, The Nightmare Before Christmas, when I was at home and I suddenly thought about using that type of music.
I started looking through some of the instrumentals from that film and finally started coming up with lots of ideas yet I didn't want it to become a bit repetitive.

I then found a youtube account called BurtonAndElfman and found so many more instrumentals from Tim Burton films and started listening to a lot of them.
In the end I found 3 instrumentals from different films that I loved and realised that they would work to make it more creative set and lighting wise.
