Spotlight (Spec Scene)

Short cue for an imagined scene: a young woman steps into a spotlight, torn between courage and doubt before her audition. Goal: warmth that never quite settles. Solution: G major built on 9th chords, with borrowed iv7 and bVII7 chords as a flicker of self-doubt before the music eases into the glow of resolve. Two pianos trade the melody and arpeggios. Suited to podcasts, short films and intimate scenes.
