Pauvre Pierrot (1892) (Music by Michael Calabris)

Music © Michael Calabris Music (ASCAP). All rights reserved. This version of Charles-Émile Reynaud's charming 1892 animated film, "Pauvre Pierror" ("Poor Pierrot") features the Novachord score I composed and recorded for the film. A synopsis of the film, courtesy of Wikipedia: "One night, Harlequin encounters his beloved Columbina in a courtyard. Soon, however, Pierrot knocks on the door and they hide. Pierrot starts performing a serenade for Columbina, but Harlequin constantly interrupts. He pokes Pierrot with a stick and steals his bottle, always keeping just out of sight. Eventually Pierrot gets scared of the unseen prankster and leaves, allowing Harlequin to enter Columbina's house as the short ends."
