I know it's not Mermay but I just stumbled across this incredible polyphonic singer for the first time and I had to mention her in case anyone happened to be writing a mermaid fic right now and was looking for inspiration for what an actual siren (or demon??) would sound like... 😲
So I was watching a video about overlapping melodies in musicals and remembering how BRILLIANT Quartet at the Ballet from Broadway Anastasia is.
Not only is it a very nicely done example of grand polyphonic pieces in musicals where the characters are singing separate melodies that come from earlier in the show (think tonight quintet or one day more), they’re singing just the tunes of those earlier themes, with unique lyrics. In addition, the music ALSO flawlessly works in the theme from Swan Lake, AND the action happening on the stage of the ballet reflects the characters’ conflicts (which this post talks about in detail)
Anyways it’s just a really cool song and shout out to Stephen flaherty for some great composition.
