Scenes and Settings
Scenes take place in a small classroom, on a big aeroplane, on a stony road, in a cosy inn, at a table, on two chairs, in a dark castle, up the North Tower, on an open piece of countryside, in a nasty dungeon, in the Castle crypt, bank at the inn, and inside your mind.
Various interior and exterior settings.
Vocal score available.
