This sequence was built and recorded from a production of South Pacific I designed for Lincoln Amphitheater when they were still being produced by the University of Southern Indiana.
The sequence consists of several factors, the ambiance cue was intended to give the impression of the characters making love offstage, without being blunt about it. The stage at the time of the cue playing was lit only by a moon rising in the background, large and full.
The song before hand and afterwards are recorded on a combination of B3 and WL-93 mics on each individual actor, and an AKG C480 on the chorus which was located offstage to provide the feeling of ethereal voices, or the voice of the island.
The ship's bell was called for in the script, and is separate from the prerecorded musical tracks, also provided by myself.
