    The Marwood Sisters: Miriam, Nica, Valerie, and Genevieve
    🎥 VIDEO CREDITS
    Composed by Adrian Mann, in memory of Carolyn Mann
    Fairy Dance Choreographed by Miriam Marwood
    Fairy Song Vocals by Shelby Lewis
    Music Produced by Andre Gaskins* (NOTE: Any distortion or blips in the sound are due to my beginner-level editing skills & software, and are not reflective of his incredible and generous work. I sent him a paltry raw file of me singing and he made it sound like a gorgeous echoing, magical forest. I did my best to do his music production justice, and look forward to getting better at video production in the future with each and every project.)
    📜 ORIGINAL SHAKESPEARE TEXT
    A Midsummer Night's Dream
    Act 2, Scene 2 - A Wood Near Athens
    TITANIA
    Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;
    Then, for the third part of a minute, hence;
    Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds,
    Some war with rere-mice for their leathern wings,
    To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
    The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
    At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep;
    Then to your offices and let me rest.
    FAIRIES
    You spotted snakes with double tongue,
    Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
    Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
    Come not near our fairy queen.
    Philomel, with melody
    Sing in our sweet lullaby;
    Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby:
    Never harm,
    Nor spell nor charm,
    Come our lovely lady nigh;
    So, good night, with lullaby.
    Weaving spiders, come not here;
    Hence, you long-legg'd spinners, hence!
    Beetles black, approach not near;
    Worm nor snail, do no offence.
    Philomel, with melody, & c.
    Fairy
    Hence, away! now all is well:
    One aloof stand sentinel.
    Exeunt Fairies. TITANIA sleeps

    Shelby! Wow! I love the ending especially and stayed till the last sound. You are so talented. I didn't realize you went to CMU. Pittsburgh is my home town and I worked at Pitt for a time.

      Thanks Jane 🤩💖 Very glad you enjoyed the video. Felt super artsy for me and a little out of my comfort zone, so I'm grateful to hear that you loved it 🙏 And YES! I loved CMU and Pittsburgh. How fabulous that you're from there. I lived in Squirrel Hill during my undergrad. What did you do at Pitt?
