A definite distinction between the European world of Venice and the ruling government, and Othello's Middle Eastern Cyprus. At the beginning of this demo is the melody that I wrote for the Willow Song, which I then orchestrated for the transition out of her bedroom. You will also hear the festival atmosphere of Venice, and Muslim calls to prayer in Cyprus.
