Song
One: Didn't See You There Variation #1
The three members of the Barber
Ghost Quartet from the opening number made a reappearance
about halfway through the first act to add a bit of background
to the mysterious, ghostly character of Yorick Heep, the grumpy
old spirit in the cemetery. The character of Yorick is also
yet to make an appearance in the comic, and at this stage
it is unlikely that he will.
This was, again, a silly little ditty and simple a short
variation on the original opening number, being the Barber
Ghost Quartet's signature tune. In this short instance they
filled in a little bit of the story as to why they are a quartet
of only three, who their fourth member is, and just why they've
all ended up dead in the first place.
The piece is written in four with a swinging rhythm intended
to remind of the swing period. It uses a few jazz chords although
instrumentation is primarily piano, guitar, bass and strings.
It was written and arranged using Sibelius 3.

Cheers.
