Completing Turandot Pt. 4 - New Tin Themes

I'm a composer, so I like to compose my own themes--and not just reuse Puccini's. But if you listen closely, some of mine have subtle musical connections to his that help connect our new ending to the rest of the opera.
Side note: now you know why I'm a composer, and not a singer/pianist!
Washington National Opera's production of 'Turandot', with the new ending by Christopher Tin and Susan Soon He Stanton, opens at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on May 11, 2024. Directed by Francesca Zambello and starring Ewa Plonka/Marjorie Owens (Turandot) and Yonghoon Lee/Jonathan Burton (Calaf), conducted by Speranza Scappucci.
Turandot was Giacomo Puccini's final opera, but he died before he could finish it, leaving scattered sketches. On the 100th-anniversary of his death, this newly commissioned ending seeks to resolve one of the biggest plot dilemmas in the opera canon: how to justify the love between the opera's two adversaries: the steely Princess Turandot, and the heroic Prince Calaf.

Chris... Civ6 is peak

[@ethanloveland504]

so you ah, doing anything for Civilization VII?

[@denniswayneradcliffe8442]

Ever thought about producing piano sheet music for your beautiful compositions? I love the piano versions of Karl Jenkins, for instance.

[@christophertin]

I've considered it! I might make easy/medium difficulty arrangements that I could play and record myself someday.

[@denniswayneradcliffe8442]

@@christophertin That would be cool! Love the idea of medium difficulty arrangements. Love your music!

[@RUdigitized]

You’re doing civ 6 or I’m not playing it Edit: I mean 7 sorry

[@HistoryPhilologistDude]

@ChristopherTin, your work as a composer and audiophile genius is truly remarkable. However, may I kindly suggest the inclusion of a professional vocal artist or an advanced student in vocal performance for your next project? Your compositions would benefit immensely from such an addition.

He even apologized for it beforehand so what’s the problem. If you don’t wanna hear him then go to k pop or something

[@christophertin]

Haha! Honestly I could have done so, but this was just a quick BTS video, and so I did one or two takes of each clip and just got on with my life. :) Thanks for the compliments about the other things not related to my singing though. 😂

[@sriyasmalling5165]

I LOVE your music ...and volunteer to sing for you. I am no professional, but I may do a slight bit better than you. #loveit
