Cue of the Week: “New Sight”

Wrapping up the series of music selections from Touché: A Blind Fencer’s Story, this cue falls towards the end of the documentary. Fencer Catherine Bolton makes breakthroughs in vision recovery, suddenly seeing a level of visual detail that had been denied to her since the onset of her condition. It’s hard not to get a little misty-eyed at the moment. I kept the music accompanimental, so as not to intrude on a scene already so rich with with emotion.

Cue of the Week: “The Great Equalizer”

This piece’s title probably suggests Smith and Wesson firearms, but the scene is actually about blindfolds. These are the means by which sight-impaired fencers insure a fair competition, putting them on equal (albeit highly challenging) ground.

The music, for solo cello with piano, accompanies Catherine Bolton’s reflecting upon her first panicky experience with a blindfold – an initial step on her path towards championship in this unusual sport.

Cue of the Week: “The Sparring Dance”

Continuing the music series from the soundtrack of Touché: A Blind Fencer’s Story, this week’s selection is a layered piece for cello trio.

The asymmetrical rhythm — 5/4 meter for you music nerds — parallels the sporadic back-and-forth as the training duelists exchange lunges and parries.

Cue of the Week: “Introducing Ani”

Continuing the music series from Touché: A Blind Fencer’s Story, this cue accompanies the introduction of fully-blind fencer Ani Brady. The music intermixes vibraphone, piano, and hang drums, which are the more agile cousins of Caribbean steel drums.
