Composed as part of an intensive film scoring workshop led by Academy Award-winning composer Stephen Warbeck (Billy Elliot, Shakespeare in Love), this cue was developed in response to a period drama film scene within a collaborative, professional setting.

Working alongside a director, editor, and music editor, the process focused on narrative sensitivity, pacing, and emotional restraint.

The music underscores a moment of departure, as a woman leaves Versailles knowing she will never see the person she loves again. Beginning with quiet intimacy as she enters the carriage, the cue gradually opens out into a wider, more expansive sound as the scene reveals the scale of the world she is leaving behind.
