The article and podcast point out some of the changes in the music of Scheherazade and how the music reflects the voices of the characters and what is happening in the story. How does the composer achieve different “voices” in this piece of music?

1. It’s about a prince getting betrayed by a female so he tries to end them all until he meets Scheherazade who tells him stories every night and end up falling in love.
2. He does this by always switching it up. I could tell when the girl was talking versus the prince it was always different.
3. How she managed to soothe the prince with her voice and stories as music does to regular people.
4. Yes, because I could tell exactly what was going on. The stories went hand in hand together.
5. Scheherazade was not conceited. She went to the king to hopefully save the other girls’ lives. She knew she was risking her own. She was kind and was really good at telling stories. I did like the music since it captures every aspect of the story.
Hope this helps!
