A Noble Warrior is retelling of one of my absolute favorite fairytales, the Nutcracker.
So it felt fitting, since I cannot write without music, to the Nutcracker soundtrack.
…yes, I literally listened to this soundtrack for almost a year while writing and editing ANW. XD
And thus, some very specific songs got cemented as very specific scenes in my mind. I cannot hear the music without thinking about different parts of ANW.
And I wanted to share them with you!
(Song links are from Spotify, but I included names so you can look them up on whatever music service you use.)
March: Chapter 2.
Decoration of the Christmas Tree: Cassian and Marie in the festival.
Clara and the Nutcracker: Chapter 11.
The Battle: Dasilmer.
Chinese Dance: Finn and Madam Rothenberg.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy: Cassian sneaking through the palace.
Final Waltz: The epilogue.
Russian Dance: The very last scene of the book.
Bows.
(Apologies for the odd formatting. XD There was nothing I could do to fix it.)
Now that you have the correct soundtrack to listen to, go grab your copy of A Noble Warrior and dive in!
Let me know if you think each song fits its scene…
