ESSAY QUESTION NUTCRACKER 
1a) Identify the sources that Bourne used to choreograph Nutcracker! Music Design Style Subject matter 1b) Providing examples from Nutcracker!, discuss how Bourne has used these sources.
Music In Nutcracker! Bourne uses original music instead of music composed just for the show; however he carefully selects the music to particular scenes so they can reflect what’s happening in the story. For example, in scene 2 when the orphanage is preparing for the visit of the governors, the frantic music at the start works well with the orphans running around tidying and cleaning. Also as Sugar and Fritz perform they’re party piece the music builds up as the orphans are getting a bit restless because they’re all expected to look up to Sugar and Fritz but none of them really do. As the music changes throughout the scene it has an effect on the style of the choreography; the choreography goes from mimes and child-like movements into more of a highland fling. This is also the case in Act 2. In the first scene of act 2, scene 7, at the beginning the music is flowing, to emphasise the arrival of the cupids from heaven. However when the cupids land
