Re-visiting Leitmotif
Due to differences in translations, the end letter can be a 'f' or a 'v'.
Simply put a leit motive is a symbol that represents a character within a musical story.
Leit motifs symbols are used by musicians to choose an instrument to represent a character.
Listen to Peter and The Wolf which uses Leitmotiv – a different tune for each character (Peter and the Wolf – Prokofiev).
Identify the different tunes for each character, write the instrument that represents the character.
How could each leitmotiv be represented pictorially ( as symbol)?
Now, create your musical score, with a drawn leit motiv for each character.
Have fun!
